 10 O'Clock News [Judge Paul King]
Kelly notes that Michael Dukakis (former governor of Massachusetts) beat Ed King (brother of Paul King and former governor of Massachusetts) in the 1982 gubernatorial election.
Kelly reports that a court clerk testified that King set an unusually high bail amount for four African American defendants in 1982; that the clerk testified to King saying that African Americans deserve high bails for voting against his brother.
Kelly notes that the Dorchester District Court is the busiest court in the system; that King was chief justice at the court for eleven years.
