(34,332 posts)in 1989, in which Carol Stuart, 7 months pregnant, was allegedly murdered by "a Black man" in an attempted carjacking/robbery, according to her husband, Charles. He was also shot in the abdomen. There was a brutal, wholesale dragnet of African American men that tore Boston apart. Come to find out, Charles Stuart murdered his wife & shot himself to deflect blame. He ended up committing suicide when his accomplice, his younger brother, confessed. He had told his brother it was an insurance scam, but didn't tell him he was going to murder his wife. He had his brother meet them at a predetermined place in "the ghetto" & Charles handed off a bundle of stuff he told his brother to destroy. His brother found Carol's engagement ring which Charles said "the Black guy" stole & couldn't live with the knowledge.
Bigotry in Boston and other northern cities is alive and well. We just hide it better than in the south.
