Overview
- Attorney Alan Jackson sent letters to Mayor Michelle Wu and the Massachusetts POST Commission urging Cox’s immediate addition to the Brady list and a formal disciplinary review.
- An FBI Boston email dated Feb. 22, 2024 informed Cox that “the officer we spoke about is Kelly Dever,” with Jackson saying Cox’s calendar shows a meeting with Dever the following day.
- Cox told reporters in July that he had nothing to do with the Read case and did not know Dever was connected, statements Jackson calls disproven by the documents.
- Dever testified at Read’s retrial that Cox told her to tell the truth and later resigned from BPD after acknowledging a prior “false memory” in the investigation.
- The Boston Police Department, the mayor’s office, and the POST Commission have not provided substantive responses to the new letter, as broader scrutiny of Read-related investigators continues.
