The violent deaths of William and Jane Wyman of Newton last week, allegedly by his hand in the home they shared for decades, shows the need for more communication and education about domestic violence, said several local social workers and advocates.
Police believe William Wyman killed his wife of 65 years early Oct. 20 and then stabbed himself to death. He left a note describing what he had done, and notified a relative about it before the apparent murder-suicide, authorities said.

WESTFORD — Glittergrrl sends an instant message to Popcornisamazing “just to let her know” people were talking about her complexion.
It was a dig at one of the most important things to many high-school girls — their appearance.
However, Glittergrrl disguises it as an act of concern for her friend, justifying her previous text with another stating, “I would want to know if people were talking about me behind my back. Don’t be so dramatic.”

BOSTON — The county’s top prosecutor thinks juries, not judges, should decide whether Level 3 sex offenders are released back into the community or sent away to a state hospital.
Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone testified yesterday in favor of a piece of legislation that would change the way the court system handles convicted sex offenders who are scheduled to be released from prison.
The bill, filed by Sen. Steven Baddour, D-Methuen, and co-sponsored by a number of local lawmakers, would allow the state to request a jury trial to determine whether a sex offender still poses a risk to the public. Under current law, the predator has the power to forgo a jury trial and request that a dangerousness hearing be heard only by a judge.
