Media swarms Entwistle family
When court recessed for lunch at 1 p.m., some people headed for Shannon's Catering canteen truck, but TV cameras were trained on Neil Entwistle's parents, Clifford and Yvonne Entwistle, and their younger son, Russell. The family, who came from England to attend their elder son's double-murder trial, did not speak to reporters as they left after attending the morning session of jury selection. Entwistles' parents held one another's hand as they walked briskly past reporters and cameras.
Entwistle's attorney, Elliot Weinstein, talked to members of the press at the start of the lunch recess. Weinstein told reporters the Entwistles are still mourning the loss of Lillian and Rachel, and will likely be at the Woburn courthouse for the duration of the trial. He also reiterated concerns about his client's ability to get a fair hearing due to extensive pretrial media coverage.
