Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Thursday, June 13th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the weather report, then we'll jump into
some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science and entertainment.
But first, you'll be interested to know 58 years ago, today, in 1966.
Miranda vs. Arizona, a landmark case, established guidelines for police interrogations to ensure
suspects are informed of their Fifth Amendment rights.
These Miranda rights include the right to remain silent, that anything said can be used
against them, the right to an attorney during questioning, and the right to a court-appointed
lawyer if indigent.
If police fail to read these rights before questioning a detained suspect, any obtained
statements are inadmissible in court.
However, a common misconception is that charges will be dropped if Miranda rights are not
read.
This is not true.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the weather report.

In local news, the cleanest public beaches surround Boston Harbor, our Pleasure Bay,
and City Point in South Boston, according to Save the Harbor, Save the Bay's annual
report card.
South Boston's other beaches, Revere Beach and Nantasket Beach in Hull, also received
high marks.
Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe praised the improvements in water quality.
However, Kings Beach in Lynn and Tinian Beach in Dorchester received low grades due to outdated
infrastructure causing contamination.
Despite a rainy 2023, most beaches were safe for swimming most of the time.
The report highlights the need for continued investment to combat climate change impacts.
Now on to sports.

threats.

In business news, on June 11, Tesla shareholders face a crucial vote on Elon Musk's $56 billion
pay package, which a Delaware judge previously threw out.
The decision has significant implications for Tesla's stock price.
While some key investors oppose the package, Tesla representatives are actively encouraging
votes.
The vote is emotionally significant for Musk, but not legally binding.
Other ballot items include Kimball Musk's board position and relocating Tesla to Texas.
The outcome may lead to stock volatility, with investors anticipating a risk event.
Additionally, Musk has criticized Apple's AI integrations, threatening to ban iPhones
at Tesla.

Let's talk tech.
Spotify faces allegations from the National Music Publishers Association of deceiving
consumers and cheating the music royalty system through its addition of audiobook content
to all paid subscription plans.
In November 2023, Spotify included 15 hours of audiobook content in its premium plans
and later introduced a $10 audiobook-only subscription.
The NNPA claims that Spotify's price increases are tied to this content, forcing customers
to pay for unwanted services.
Additionally, Spotify might pay $150 million less in music royalties due to these new plans.
The FTC is called to investigate this scheme, potentially affecting Spotify's royalty model
overhaul.
And in entertainment news, Marvel's Blade reboot has lost its second director, Yann
Demange, following the departure of Basam Tarek in 2022.
Demange, known for Lovecraft Country, exited the project amicably after lengthy development.
Eric Pearson, who co-wrote The Fantastic Four, is the latest screenwriter to tackle the script,
succeeding several others.
Although still slated for a November 7, 2025 release, production delays make this state
uncertain.
Mahershala Ali, who pitched the reboot to Marvel, remains optimistic about the project's
direction despite these setbacks.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American comedian, actress and television host, Joan
Rivers.
And she said,
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is God's gift.
And that's why we call it the present.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
