Judge Michael Doolin’s decision came after a tense hearing last week when prosecutors argued a motion to revoke Kearney’s bail in his ongoing witness intimidation case in Norfolk County Superior Court. “The words stated by the defendant, a journalist, on his YouTube live video of April 26, 2025, do not mandate revocation of his bail,” Doolin wrote.
