Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo supported the liberal agenda 77 percent of the time in key votes during the current legislative session, a left-wing organization said.
The powerful House Speaker is widely considered a brake on left-wing legislation in the state Legislature, but his voting record shows he's with the left the vast majority of the time.
Andrew Balcer, referred to in some media accounts as "Andrea," has been sentenced to 40 years imprisonment by Maine Superior Court Justice Daniel Billings after the 20-year-old confessed to brutally stabbing his parents to death on Halloween Day in 2016. The sentence is less than the state maximum of 55 years sought by prosecutors.
The killings occurred when Balcer was 17, so he could not be sentenced to life imprisonment, which the U.S. Supreme Court declared unconstitutional for juvenile crimes.
