Man found guilty of killing Mass. couple in drunken driving crash from 2021
A 65-year-old man was found guilty of killing a couple while drunken driving in Stoughton in 2021 in Norfolk County Superior Court on Wednesday, the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office said. A jury convicted Stoughton resident Raffaele Frontino on two counts of motor vehicle homicide while driving negligently and under the influence of alcohol in the deaths of Stoughton residents Alfredo and Aldina Pedro, 50 and 51, respectively, the district attorney's office said in a press release. On June 28, 2021, Alfredo Pedro was riding his motorcycle with his wife as a passenger when the car Frontino was driving crossed into the oncoming traffic lane and struck them head-on, the district attorney's office said. The couple was declared dead at the scene near 1317 Washington St. in Stoughton. Frontino took a blood-alcohol level test two hours after the crash, the district attorney's office said. At that time, the alcohol content of his blood was still 0.125% — well above the legal driving limit of 0.08%. Additionally, during his four-day trial, witnesses testified that they saw Frontino's car driving erratically prior to the crash, Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in the release. Their testimony was corroborated by security camera footage from the scene and nearby. 'We hope the verdict brings some closure to the family and friends of the victims,' Morrissey said in the release. Frontino's sentencing is scheduled for June 10.

Antiques Roadshow guest struggles to speak after learning the eye-watering value of 'extraordinary' family heirloom
A guest on Antiques Roadshow struggled to speak after they discovered the value of an 'extraordinary' family heirloom. Sunday's episode of the BBC show saw a guest present expert Joanna Hardy with a piece of jewellery made of ten gold nuggets. 'They just look extraordinary,' she commented, as the owner explained her grandfather had gifted the bracelet to her grandmother. The guest revealed: 'My grandfather worked in Segovia, in Colombia in the Frontino mines in the '30s and '40s. 'He was an engineer so I don't believe he mined those by hand, but I think he must have got those from there.' Joanna marvelled how the piece of jewellery was 'ahead of its time' given the art deco style that was popular in the 1930s. The expert gushed over the nature of the bracelet and precious metal it was made of. She said: 'Gold, it is the only metal that is just so malleable, it doesn't rust, it doesn't tarnish, it's inactive to chemical reactions so what you see here is exactly the same as when it was first found. 'It's just got that raw energy about it.' The guest agreed and commented, 'I love it when I wear it because it's really heavy and it just fits, it's a really nice size as well.; Joanna moved onto discussing the value of the item and pointed out 'Gold has never been higher than today'. 'So at auction, I think you'd be looking at around £5,000,' she explained. The guest was visibly shocked and appeared to struggle to speak after realising the value of her bracelet. She stammered: 'Oh! Okay. That's quite a lot, everybody said that I know but it's really a lot more than I thought.' The guest was visibly shocked and appeared to struggle to speak after realise the value of her bracelet The guest then tried on the bracelet to show how it looked on and revealed she wore it on special occasions. 'Oh my goodness it was so much more than I was expecting to be honest. 'I just thought it would be the gold rate, I didn't think there would be any extra value in what it was,' she gushed.
