20-year-old pleads not guilty to murder

A lawyer for the man accused of killing an off-duty Revere police officer told
the media today that his client was not the shooter and charged investigators
with abusing their power, in one instance making a "false statement" in a search
warrant affidavit.
"We saw an investigation marred by wholesale speculation,
with the police barging into people’s homes without a warrant, knocking down
doors, and intimidating witnesses," defense attorney Peter Krupp said in a
statement he read to reporters outside Chelsea District Court. "One has to
question the validity of information gathered through such tactics."
In a
courtroom packed with Revere officers in blue uniforms with black tape over
their badges, Robert Iacoviello Jr., 20, pleaded not guilty.

Daniel Talbot was shot in the head. Prosecutors say Iacoviello and some other men were involved in a heated exchange with Talbot and other off-duty officers that eventually lead to Talbot's death.
