Family of man who died during Haverhill police struggle sues officers

The family of a man who died while being restrained by police in Haverhill, Massachusetts, last year has filed a federal civil lawsuit against the officers who were involved. The complaint, filed Monday, claims that the officers violated Francis Gigliotti's constitutional rights in the July 11, 2025, struggle that led to his death. Each officer denied the man's rights to due process and protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, the suit claims.

Sheriffs across Massachusetts have requested $241 million to repair and renovate their jails

Jail Funding Massachusetts ASSOCIATED PRESS Bristol County Sheriff Paul Heroux is seeking $27 million in state funding to renovate the Dartmouth House of Correction, so he can close the 148-year-old Ash Street Jail. But Heroux is facing competition from sheriffs across Massachusetts . They’re all seeking a share of limited state funding for major repairs and renovations at their facilities. Among the contenders is a jail even older than Ash Street: the Dukes County jail on Martha’s Vineyard, built in 1873, which needs structural and fire-safety repairs and more space. Essex County seeks to overhaul Middleton jail’s kitchen and dining area, while Worcester County wants to renovate deteriorating jail housing units and demolish a former hospital nurses’ home. Heroux shared his funding proposal with The Light for the first time, providing new details about the work needed to close Ash Street and its estimated cost. Five of the state’s 13 other sheriffs who run jails — Franklin, Berkshire , Dukes, Essex and Worcester — also shared their applications with The Light. Together, the sheriffs have requested about $241 million, far more than the $125 million to $150 million the state expects to allocate through the program. Franklin, Dukes and Essex

Joseph Case girls volleyball punches ticket to the Final Four

SWANSEA — It never gets old reaching the Final Four for Madisyn Mendonca and the Joseph Case girls volleyball team. The senior libero captain and the No. 4 Cardinals held their collective breathe down the stretch as an early 2-0 lead quickly evaporated against No. 5 Newburyport in a rematch from last season's Elite 8 match. With the score 2-2 heading into the all-important fifth set, Mendonca's team regained their composure. "I was a little worried there because I did not want this to be my last game," said Mendonca after Case eliminated the Clippers, 3-2, in Friday's Division 3 quarterfinal match in a playoff atmosphere at Joseph Case High School. "We just kept pushing at the end and getting to every ball. I'm so proud of this team." Watch MA high school sports on NFHS With the win, the Cardinals (19-4) advanced to their fourth Final Four in the last five years. Case will play either No. 1 Bellingham or No. 8 Pembroke at a time and date to be determined. "Newburyport made us worked for everything tonight," Cardinals head coach Brendan Kelly said.
