In July 2018‚ Weymouth (Mass.) police Sgt. Michael Chesna and an innocent bystander were shot while Chesna investigated a minor car crash. Emanuel Lopes‚ a driver who fled the scene of the crash‚ undisputably wrestled Chesna's service revolver away from him and used it to kill two innocent people. Now‚ six years later‚ his victims finally have justice after a jury convicted Lopes of murder on Friday. Chesna was a military veteran and married father of two. Lopes was also convicted of other charges related to the incident‚ including assault for having thrown a rock at Chesna's head‚ and other counts for firing Chesna's service revolver at other police officers who responded to the incident. Lopes' attorneys have never denied that Lopes killed Chesna and Vera Adams‚ a 77-year-old innocent bystander who was killed as Lopes attempted to flee the scene. However‚ they have claimed that Lopes suffers from mental insanity so severe that he did not understand his actions were wrongful. The first time Lopes was tried‚ a mistrial was declared after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. The state ultimately opted to try Lopes again. There are indications that this second trial also nearly ended in a mistrial as the jury remained deadlocked for days. It took six days of deliberations and numerous questions asked of the judge before the jury was ready to announce their verdict. The length of deliberations led Lopes' attorneys to ask for a mistrial again‚ but the judge instead ordered the jury to continue deliberations. Eventually‚ they were able to reach consensus that Lopes was guilty.Chesna's family and fellow Weymouth police officers applauded the decision. Weymouth police chief Richard Fuller said‚ "Glad that this evil person is going to jail where he belongs. It's been weighing on us for six years and at least we can put this part behind us‚ finally."A sentencing hearing for Lopes has been set for March 19th.

With the OLED iPad Pro just around the corner‚ I can't stop thinking about the Apple Pencil 3. While this accessory was first rumored (by a sketchy source) to arrive late last year‚ Apple did‚ in fact‚ introduce a new Pencil as a low-cost option for USB-C iPad models. While some people thought this addition only made the lineup more complicated‚ the buying experience is very straightforward: First-gen: iPad with Lightning + iPad 10 with an adapter Second-gen: iPad with USB-C‚ despite iPad 10 USB-C: All USB-C iPad models Image source: Apple Inc. That said‚ X leaker Majin Bu said Apple is readying an Apple Pencil 3 with interchangeable magnetic tips‚ which would improve drawing‚ technical drawing‚ and painting techniques. Still‚ no other report has corroborated this supposed change. On the other hand‚ 9to5Mac's Filipe Espósito discovered that Apple is working on enabling the Find My feature for an upcoming Pencil model. Although it’s unclear at this moment if the next Pencil would work like a MagSafe Wallet or AirTag‚ at least iPadOS could always remind you when you attach the Pencil to your iPad. In addition‚ Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also says an Apple Pencil 3 (and a revamped Magic Keyboard) is in the works‚ although he didn't share any other tidbits. With all that in mind‚ I hope Apple improves this experience with the next accessory. Apple Pencil 3 should learn from the USB-C model Image source: Apple Inc. While the low-cost USB-C Apple Pencil might be good for customers who don't own a wireless pencil yet‚ another reason to choose this model over the second-generation option is that it doesn't drain the iPad's battery. If you're familiar with the Apple Pencil 2‚ you know that it can magnetically attach to your iPad and keep the charge‚ which is very handy. That said‚ it's not as efficient as AirPods in their charging case. Both your iPad and Pencil might be out of power when you need them. For iPad Pro users‚ this is especially challenging when the Magic Keyboard and the Pencil are draining the tablet's battery. With that in mind‚ Apple has two choices with the next model: Improve how Apple Pencil 3 holds its charge without killing the iPad's battery or add an internal USB-C port so users can charge the iPad independently while still offering magnetic pairing. Wrap up The first option seems more likely than the second. Still‚ I'm not so sure about it. There are high hopes for the OLED iPad Pro‚ and I hope this will be the tablet that will make me return to the iPad. And to ensure that the accessories will play a significant role in its success. BGR will report back once we learn more about a future Apple Pencil or when Apple decides to announce the long-awaited OLED iPad Pro.
