Three Decades Later, Guilty Verdict in Young Woman's Murder

Three Decades Later, Guilty Verdict in Young Woman's Murder

BOSTON, March 16, 2018—More than 30 years after 19-year-old Dora Jean Brimage was found beaten and strangled inside a Warren Street storefront, the man who killed her has been convicted of her murder, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

A Suffolk Superior Court jury this afternoon found JAMES PAIGE, 51, guilty of first-degree murder under the theory of felony murder in Brimage’s 1987 slaying.  He faces a mandatory term of life in prison without the possibility of parole when he is sentenced on Tuesday.

Assistant District Attorney Craig Iannini of the DA’s Homicide Unit presented evidence and testimony to prove that Brimage attended a birthday party for a relative of Paige on Sept. 6, 1987.  The next morning, construction workers found Brimage’s body inside a Warren Street storefront that was under construction.  She had been badly beaten, sexually assaulted, and strangled.

The first generation of investigators interviewed potential witnesses and collected physical evidence from the scene and biological evidence from Brimage’s body.  However, DNA testing that could identify her killer was not available at the time. 

In 2013, detectives assigned to the Boston Police Cold Case Squad re-interviewed witnesses and requested new testing of DNA evidence collected from Brimage’s body.  Criminalists at the Boston Police Crime Lab were able to produce a DNA profile that was entered into the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS. The killer’s DNA profile was matched to Paige, who had been required to submit a DNA sample following a felony conviction. That "hit" led to a renewed investigation by cold case detectives and prosecutors assigned to the Suffolk DA's Homicide Unit, leading to Paige's indictment in 2016. 

Assistant District Attorney Juliann Campbell of the DA’s Appellate Unit second-chaired at trial.  Jennifer Sears is the DA’s victim-witness assistant.  Paige was represented by Dan Solomon.  Sentencing before Judge Christopher Muse is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Tuesday in courtroom 806 of Suffolk Superior Court.

U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE HOSTS ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ON SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN HOUSING

U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE HOSTS ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ON

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN HOUSING

BOSTON – The U.S. Attorney’s Office hosted a roundtable discussion today on sexual harassment in housing, which brought together local legal services organizations, fair housing organizations, and domestic violence advocates.

The Department of Justice, through the U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Civil Rights Division, enforces the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, and disability. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by the Act. Sexual harassment by landlords, property managers, maintenance workers, and others with power over housing often affects the most vulnerable populations – single parents, individuals who have financial difficulties, and people who have suffered sexual violence in their past.

“There are landlords and property managers who abuse their positions to extort sexual favors from, or even sexually assault, vulnerable tenants, and that is unacceptable,” said U.S. Attorney Lelling said.  “This conduct is an egregious violation of a person’s right to fair housing, and my Office’s Civil Rights Unit is dedicated to aggressively investigating such allegations and vigorously enforcing the law.”

In October 2017, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced the Sexual Harassment Initiative, an effort to combat sexual harassment in housing. The Justice Department’s initiative seeks to identify barriers to reporting sexual harassment in housing, increase awareness of its enforcement efforts – both among survivors and those they may report to – and collaborate with federal, state, and local partners to increase reporting and help survivors quickly and easily connect with federal resources.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office is collaborating with the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to raise awareness of the options that are available to help individuals experiencing sexual harassment. Community organizations, such as legal services offices, fair housing organizations, domestic violence advocates, shelters, and transitional housing providers, can identify the misconduct and recommend that individuals report sexual harassment to the Justice Department.

The Justice Department brings cases each year involving allegations that defendants have exposed themselves sexually to current or prospective tenants, requested sexual favors in exchange for reduced rents or making necessary repairs, made unrelenting and unwanted sexual advances to tenants, and evicted tenants who resisted their sexual overtures.

In 2017, the Justice Department recovered more than $1 million in damages for harassment victims. Many instances of sexual harassment in housing continue to go unreported. The Justice Department’s investigations frequently uncover sexual harassment that has been ongoing for years or decades and identify numerous victims who never reported the conduct to federal authorities.

The Justice Department encourages anyone who has experienced sexual harassment in housing, or knows someone who has, to contact the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s Civil Rights Unit by calling (617) 275-8756 or emailing USAMA.CivilRights@usdoj.gov; or the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division by calling (844) 380-6178 or emailing fairhousing@usdoj.gov.

The Civil Rights Unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office was established in 2015 with the mission of enhancing federal civil rights enforcement.  For more information on the Office’s civil rights efforts, please visit www.justice.gov/usao-ma/civil-rights.

舊金山寫竹名家徐賓遠贈畫波士頓僑教中心

歐宏偉主任(左)代表接受寫竹名家徐賓遠畫冊｢徐賓遠墨竹｣。

僑胞翻閱畫冊。

【徐賓遠女士致贈畫冊  波士頓僑胞大表讚賞】

旅居美國舊金山灣區的臺灣寫竹名家徐賓遠女士春節期間出版新畫冊｢徐賓遠墨竹｣，特別捐給波士頓華僑文教服務中心乙冊，由主任歐宏偉代表接受，僑胞也深受吸引馬上翻閱，並表示畫冊畫風蒼勁有力，意境深遠，值得細細品味。

徐賓遠表示「竹畫」在國畫中乃獨具一門，亦是用筆用墨最難，意境高深之畫。茲將五十餘年之習竹心得和竹畫技法，以及百餘幅畫作付梓，盼望能對後學者有所助益。

自古以來的國畫中，墨竹是最易學難工的。所謂「易學」基本上就是竹竿竹枝竹葉而已；所謂「難工」就是將以上三者窮其殊相。旅居美國紐約的當代散文作家王鼎鈞當年參觀過徐賓遠墨竹展後撰文指出，見她把竹葉的十二姿態畫全了，頗符造物者的本意。

徐賓遠師承寫竹名家陳方(芷町)，張大千稱譽芷町先生為「五百年來寫竹第一人」，並於1982年為徐賓遠女士第一本畫冊作序時開宗明義「老友陳芷町以畫竹名世，得其薪傳者，惟徐賓遠而已」。葉公超先生亦曾為徐賓遠墨竹集作序；黃君璧大師當年則稱譽「目前專寫墨竹之畫界人士中賓遠稱最卓絕」，並為畫冊封面題字。(圖與文:波士頓僑教中心提供)

徐賓遠1964年在台北市中山堂舉行首次個展，而後應邀在臺灣各地、香港、美國等地展出作品近20次。1996年母校國立台北教育大學百年校慶，評選為傑出校友之一，並受邀參與「百年世紀大展」。
