According to Brad Petrishen of the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester, Superior Court Judge Gillian Feiner decided not to force This Week publisher Thomas Marino to identify his sources at this time, and she urged Marino and the plaintiff, Officer Thomas Duffy II, to work out a pre-trial settlement. This Week in Worcester publisher Thomas Marino is being sued by Thomas Duffy II, president of Worcester’s patrolmen union, for $10 million over allegations Marino made “multiple false and defamatory statements” about Duffy in 2025.
