Rancorous Allegations Fly As Janey Remains Mum On Police Commissioner s Fate
Boston City Hall
Two days after an hour-long, closed-door termination hearing with acting Mayor Kim Janey about the fate of his job, Boston Police Commissioner Dennis White is enmeshed in a vitriolic and public exchange of charges and counter charges with family members.
Whatever the outcome for White and City Hall, the last two days of tawdry accusations do nothing to dispel the shadow cast on the police department s internal affairs (IA) unit.
After White s ex-wife, Sybil Mason (also a serving police officer), accused White of domestic abuse in a WBUR interview Wednesday, White s lawyer Thursday called upon Janey to publicly release Mason s IA files, suggesting that those files would cast doubt on her credibility as a witness.
