A Massachusetts jury was asked to convict a woman who killed her two boys. What they were not told: The prosecution's own expert found she was schizophrenic, psychotic at the time of the crime. Prison officials reached the same conclusion. But the jury did not hear it. The Globe's Yvonne Abraham unpacks this shocking case. bostonglobe.com/2025/12/04/met…

Per Aidan's story, one departing employee from Globe Today had initially been hired as by the Globe to work on a weekly podcast that it later scrapped. The employee's messages in some newsroom Slack channels were deleted and access to posting in them were temporarily disabled.
