Boston is gearing up for the convention. All court trials have been canceled.
The trials were canceled because police won't be available to testify and jurors and witnesses might find it difficult to get into the downtown area during the July 26-29 convention, the Boston Sunday Herald reported. "People are simply not going to be able to get around," court administrator Dana Leavitt told the Herald. Leavitt said superior courts in Boston and Cambridge would be open for bail reviews and emergency matters, such as restraining orders and injunctions, but not much else. Grand jury sessions will also be cancelled that week.
