Week In Review: Marathon Bombings Arrest, Remy Pleads, Bulger Twist
Resume
It's been a week of startling twists of legal fate.
Tuesday, Jared Remy took the rare step of pleading guilty to stabbing his girlfriend, Jennifer Martel, to death. That means he'll spend life in prison with no chance for parole.
On Wednesday, a court threw out the murder conviction of a former FBI agent charged in a mob killing ordered by Whitey Bulger.
And Friday, a Quincy taxi driver was charged with obstructing the FBI investigation into the Boston Marathon bombings.
WBUR’s Sacha Pfeiffer digs into the stories of the week with our panel.
