A judge has narrowed the scope of what J.C. Chadwell may tell jurors when he takes the stand in his defense Tuesday.  He is charged with killing Paul Henry in 2017. 

A lawyer for J.C. Chadwell said Friday the 43-year-old did not pull the trigger, naming the shooter who killed Paul Henry as an alleged gang member whose whereabouts are apparently unknown.

Opening statements are expected Friday in the trial of J.C. Chadwell, who is accused in the fatal 2017 shooting of Paul Henry at a Fourth of July block party.

Convicted arsonist William P. Cascone will remain in state custody as he waits to learn whether he’ll get a new trial, nearly 35 years after a jury found him guilty based on evidence prosecutors now agree was flawed.

Christopher Vandesteene, who is charged with stealing a safe and official documents from the district courthouse, will see his case prosecuted in Berkshire Superior Court. 

SENTENCING: A judge Wednesday sentenced Luis Delvalle-Rodriguez to up to 30 years in prison for shooting Nick Carnevale at an outdoor party at October Mountain in August 2018.

After six days of testimony, the case of the admitted shooter of Nick Carnevale and a co-defendant was submitted to the jury for deliberations. 

DAY 7, CLOSING STATEMENTS: The prosecution and two defense attorneys representing a pair of men accused in the 2018 October Mountain shooting of Nick Carnevale delivered closing statements in Berkshire Superior Court on Wednesday. 

DAY 6: "Why are they following us?" A witness Tuesday described the scene as up to 10 people descended on Nick Carnevale's truck, instigating an attack that a prosecutor said left the Cheshire native fighting for his life. 

DAY 4: Luis Delvalle-Rodriguez stated on audio taken from his cellphone that he shot someone the night Nick Carnevale was shot during a party at October Mountain State Forest in August 2018.
