COURT CONSIDERING GIRLS' PARENTS' APPEAL

Date: August 23, 2002 Page: B2 Section: Metro/Region

HOPKINTON A state Appeals Court judge is pondering an appeal from Heath and Tara Carey, the Hopkinton couple who want to have direct access to the state fire marshal's investigation of the apartment building explosion last month that killed their two young daughters. Worcester Superior Court Judge James P. Donohue ruled last week that allowing the Careys to participate in the investigation would taint the case. "The investigation into whether criminal conduct was involved in the explosion cannot properly be conducted according to law if any interested party is allowed to intervene in the process," Donohue wrote in his decision. The Careys filed an appeal this week with the Appeals Court in Boston. A decision could come as early as today.
