This blog serves as an archive of selected news stories from my times as a crime and general assignment reporter for The Keene Sentinel, a daily newspaper in Keene, N.H., The Cape Coral Daily Breeze, a small daily in the greater Fort Myers, Fla., area, and the Naples Daily News in Naples, Fla. Now I work as a reporter in Boston for Lawyers Weekly, covering an array of legal issues in Massachusetts and Rhode Island for two publications that cater to lawyers, judges and others who are interested in the law. Because of copyright protections, I will not be posting any new stories to this site. I can be reached at philbantz@gmail.com or phillip.bantz@lawyersweekly.com.
