A firefighter from Ireland accused of raping a woman in Boston nearly three months ago is expected in court Monday.
Terrence Crosbie of Dublin was arrested at Boston Logan International Airport in March after he was trying to fly back to Ireland.
Crosbie was in Boston with members of the Dublin Fire Brigade for the St. Patrick’s Day parade, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said.
He allegedly assaulted a 28-year-old woman at the famed Omni Parker House hotel after meeting her at the Black Rose bar.
Crosbie was indicted last week and will be arraigned Monday.
Jurors in the murder trial of Karen Read are returning to the courtroom Monday morning, where they’ll face a full day of testimony with extended hours.
Jurors will return to the courtroom after being on break since last week, when they heard from medical experts about Read’s level of intoxication the morning John O’Keefe was found dead and from O’Keefe’s niece and nephew who testified they heard frequent arguments between the two.
Watch the Karen Read trial live on nbcboston.com, NECN, NBC Boston streaming platforms (including Roku, Peacock and Samsung TV) and NBC10 Boston’s YouTube page. Every night of the trial at 7 p.m., come back for analysis and more.
Read is accused of hitting O’Keefe with her SUV and leaving him to die on the lawn of 34 Fairview Road in Canton, Massachusetts. Her defense says she’s being framed.
After O’Keefe’s body was found, Read began acting erratically, according to testimony, which led to her being admitted to Good Samaritan Medical Center.
Blood work done there revealed she had a .081 blood alcohol concentration around 9 a.m. That’s slightly above the legal driving limit.
However, a forensic toxicologist says if Read had her last drink at 12:45 a.m., her BAC around the time O’Keefe was hit would have been 0.13with a maximum of 0.29.
“It’s just so that encompass essentially anybody within the general population, that they would be somewhere in between that lower limit and that upper limit,” said Nicholas Roberts, former toxicology unit employee at Massachusetts State Police crime lab.
Monday will be a full day of testimony with a shortened lunch break but there’s no court Tuesday. Wednesday will be a full day, Thursday a half day and then no court on Friday.
Monday will be pleasant, with clouds in the morning and a cold front sneaking over eastern Massachusetts by late morning.
