Farwell’s Twin Got a Badge Six Years After the Chief Wrote THIS

Matthew Farwell’s twin brother Billy was rejected by Stoughton police in 2011. The chief wrote down why, and the department hired him in 2017 with that letter still in his file. Matthew had been passed over once himself before Robert Devine, the Explorers mentor who raised both brothers through the program, talked the chief into a second look. Within months of getting his badge, Matthew was teaching Explorers again and sending a Facebook friend request to a fifteen-year-old named Sandra Birchmore.
This monologue walks the count from the beginning: a teenage traffic stop in a Crown Victoria that ended with a talking-to, two dropouts made instructors over middle-schoolers, a deputy chief demoted instead of fired after misleading State Police, a call to the station that died at the desk, and two troopers who took no notes. Farwell has pleaded not guilty to killing Sandra. Billy has never been charged. Devine denies every allegation.
