Yes, but at the time I posted this comment he wasn't on at 11pm.

Um, actually, Jack Williams is back at news desk for the 11:00 newscasts.

Not that it matters but he (Douglas) was paroled in 1993 and wrote a book, the Book is going for .01 on Amazon. What makes this case interesting is that they convicted him with no Body ever found, and using methods similar to DNA.

This is a much better open than the other one they used before this one. I kid you not, it was a foam version of the "4" logo coming out of boiling water. News junkies call it the "Four-zilla" open.

Yes I read that. When the staion was purchased by CBS/Viacom, it went to hell in a handbasket. I enjoyed it more when it was owned by Westinghouse and was an NBC Affiliate. I liked the 4 logo, was unique.

hey burbank, wasn't WCVB the top news in boston in the 90s?

I think it was until WHDH Channel 7 stormed forward to the Top after Sunbeam Purchased the Station and revamped its newscast.

This was from May 1984, I went back in the Boston Globe Archives.
"William H.J. Douglas, a former associate professor at Tufts Medical School, was sentenced yesterday to 18 to 20 years in prison for killing Robin N. Benedict, a 21-year-old prostitute he bludgeoned with a hammer in the bedroom of his Sharon home 14 months ago."
From Boston Globe 1984.

Wow thaanks for the insight and information. I was wondering who Douglas was. He looked creepy in the clip and would have guessed he was a child molester.
