Here the correctional center. A maximum security prison. At six feet 6 and well over 200 pounds, obrien is 35yearold man now who has spent more than half of his life in prison. It might be weird to say i consider myself lucky. I had some good guys that took me under their wings and they showed me the ropes on how to do time and how to live in here. At the end of the day this place really doesnt matter. This isnt reality. Reality is out there before my family and friends are big change in legal system could affect his case. The u. S. Supreme Court Ruling Said it unconstitutional to sentence life without parole ruling could make obrien eligible for parole. Obrien says that doesnt change anything for him. I feel like i would never meet the requirements of being granted a parole. I would never go in front of that board and admit to insted obrien says he wants to be exonerated. And for first time in 15 years a new team of lawyers is working on an appeal. My past isnt pretty ive number prison for 20 years. And if you try to remember that, it affects your future. So i dont even think about my past. I try not to. I just like i said i live one day at a time. I dont look too far ahead. But i am hopeful. I will tell you that.

Kelly. Yeah, good even. The second day of the hunt getting under way in just under six hours you can see sign right there. Thats not making a lot of people around here very happy. Sign on the road says it all deer hunt tomorrow. These people arent happy. Holding signs that say stop the slaughter. This is murder and animal graveyard, animal activist lined the entrance to blue hill reservation. No hunting in our parks. Department of conservation and recreation is granting hunting permits for first time in 100 years. Its horrendous. Permits even out to nearly 20 oh hunter in order to control the deer population.

Hunt will take place in the 7 thousand acre reservation tuesday. And then two days next week. While the state feels population needs to be controlled, others clearly feel differently. I wish they could do it a different way. I wish they could take them somewhere else. I personally dont like the idea of killing any living things as vegetarian i prefer not to kill animals for i mean any reasons. Now again that hunt gets hours. The road will be closed here tomorrow and two days next week. And well, state says they had very little choice because they population. In milton tonight. Kelli ohara, 7 news night team. Kelly, thank you. Like like winter hunting for people who went out there. Because pete theres no snow on ground. Not that were complaining tough to track pem about 34 in town. Dew point about 25. Souths, southwest at nine miles an hour some suburb and city we didnt get out 30s today. But look at this worcester 34 for high. We did make a little over 40s across southeast mass. Now low 30s we have 20s. Clouds are breaking up. 30 ipswich. 28 in lowell. Sterling 28. Same auburn. West bridgewater, 30 degrees. Scituate at 30. And the cape and upper 20s low 20s on vineyard. 35 nantucket right now. There is cold in place. Its seasonable cold. And some pockets of chill will still be around in morning western mass when rain starts to slowly move in. We have two waves of it coming. Good soaking too. I say good because we need the rain. Temperatures will moderate as well into 40s and low 50s. These showers were facing for tomorrow. Steadiest rain still seems like it will be late in day into the evening. Look at this, 7 oclock. We are chalk full of green. There might even be a pulse of moderate rain that pulls away just after midnight highs tomorrow not much better than today. Middle 40s, lower 40s, and your warmest sandwich, and falmouth and new bedford too. Elsewhere i mean, it may be only in the upper 30s from nashua to leominster, and lowell in lawrence too. So that cold will stay the merrimac valley tomorrow. Oh and fact low pressure goes by to our south. To come north it drags warmer weather with it. But that might happen on wednesday as we are able to push the temperatures closer to 50. That day is wet all around. Low pressure goes by. It might be too little too late. How much rain are we talking . Half inch . Three quarters of an inch . Certainly within the realm of importantly even color to an inch too. Again, in those two waves tomorrow afternoon and evening. 50ish. Some still in the 40s. Typical places Southern New Hampshire northern mass then thursday a better shop making lower 50s. That day well see temperatures fall late. Brief clearing more clouds late and then tomorrow cloudys over afternoon showers raw and chilly. 7 on 7 forecast very november like at the beginning thats for sure. Then redry it out ask clear it out friday into the weekend. Looking like a warm up too. To me. Ill see you tomorrow. Incredible scene caught on camera. Just bizarre accident leaving drivers up in the air. A couple you saw them levitate, right off the ground. But there is a perfectly good explanation for all of it. A mysterious crash in china leaving people a bit spooked. Surveillance video shows cars somehow lifting off ground just a they get into an intersection. Look closely first fwan on far left lifts from the back. Then car driving in opposite direction. People walking by rush to get out of the way before running back to check on the flipped van. Once posted online video quickly went viral. It might look like magic but theres very logical explanation. Street sweeper nearby snag ad steel cable on other side of the road when it got tangle in sweepers wheel cable lifted up bring three cars with it accident turning a simple drive down road into floating crash. Despite one of those vans flipping over in accident no one was seriously injured. All right everybody talking about patriots obviously but i think theres a little basketball in there too.
