"Brian Walshe will appear in court Monday for his final pre-trial conference before jury selection begins in his case. Prosecutors are charging him with killing his wife, Ana, on New Year's Day in 2023. Ana Walshe, a Cohasset mother of three, went missing around New Year's Day that year. Prosecutors allege her husband, Brian Walshe, killed and dismembered her before disposing of her remains."
"On Friday, a Bridgewater State Hospital doctor deemed Walshe competent to stand trial, following a reported attack by an inmate stabbing him in jail on Sept. 11. The court initially set a competency hearing for Oct. 27. But Walshe's lawyer, Larry Tipton, previously said that despite showing progress since the attack, the "mental and physical effects of the violent assault" continued to prevent Walshe from fully participating in preparing his defense."
