The man leading the fight to hold the state of New Hampshire accountable for decades of horrific sexual and physical abuse and coverup, David Meehan began telling his story to jurors Wednesday, speaking haltingly and fighting through the emotional scars forced on him.
Michael Gilpatrick had trouble telling his story on the witness stand Tuesday, pausing and holding back his emotions as he recounted for jurors the first time he was gang raped by Sununu Youth Services Center staff.
Virgil Bossom watched in horror as serious allegations of abuse against staff at the Sununu Youth Development Center was ignored, the alleged abusers assigned to investigate their own abuse, and the children who brought the complaints disciplined for speaking out.
The identities of several more police officers with credibility problems are now public in the latest update to the Exculpatory Evidence Schedule, but details about the alleged misconduct are still lacking.
Timothy Verrill was found guilty on two counts of second-degree murder for the brutal deaths of Christine Sullivan and Jenna Pellegrini, while the jury found him not guilty of first-degree murder charges.
When Claremont Police Officer Jon Stone was fired in 2006, before his union fought and altered his official exit, the Police Standards and Training Council was informed about Stone’s alleged rape and murder threats, and his inappropriate relationship with a teen girl.
Rep. Jon Stone’s New Hampshire law enforcement career ended when he threatened to kill fellow police officers in a shooting spree, and murder his chief after raping the chief’s wife and children, all while he was already under scrutiny for his inappropriate relationship with a teen girl, according to the internal investigation reports finally released this week.
Is Timothy Verrill the cold-blooded killer who brutally murdered his friend Christine Sullivan and her house guest Jenna Pellegrini while in a paranoid, drug-fueled rage, or is he a pawn in a violent game played by Sullivan’s drug trafficking partner and angry ex-boyfriend Dean Smoronk?
“You have short time left on this earth,” Dean Smoronk texted to his ex-girlfriend and business partner Christine Sullivan in the weeks leading up to her brutal 2017 murder and the murder of her friend Jenna Pellegrini.
