A federal grand jury has indicted a Massachusetts judge and court officer for helping an illegal immigrant elude federal immigration authorities after his arraignment in Newton District Court last year.
The judge, Shelley M. Richmond Joseph, a former criminal defense lawyer, and Wesley Macgregor, a court officer, were indicted Tuesday morning on counts of obstruction of justice, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and aiding and abetting obstruction of a federal proceeding. Macgregor, 56, of Watertown was also indicted on one count of perjury for, prosecutors say, lying to a grand jury.
