I haven’t quite understood the family’s connection with Delahunt. Were they related or was there some other reason for him to be so agreeable about accepting the mother’s story?

Okay, one tidbit I picked up in the reports is that her mother was on the Braintree Personel Board, and Delahunt was the D.A. Don’t know what the connection was or could have been, but it is a connection.
