Coakley delays Big Dig announcement

Attorney General Martha Coakley announced today at least a two-week delay in determining whether to file criminal charges in last year's fatal Big Dig tunnel collapse. Here is her statement:

“In March of this year, we set a late June deadline to determine whether criminal charges related to the death of Milena DelValle in last summer’s Central Artery Tunnel Collapse were warranted and appropriate. The team of attorneys and other investigators assigned to this matter has worked diligently since last July, and has substantively completed their work. To ensure that the investigation is thorough and comprehensive, we have extended our self-imposed deadline for at least two weeks. We anticipate that we will reach a final determination regarding criminal charges at that time.”
