The family of Melissa Ann Tremblay, an 11-year-old girl found stabbed to death at a Lawrence railyard in 1988, says they’re confident justice will finally be served even after an Essex County judge declared a mistrial against the alleged killer.A deadlocked jury triggered the judge to order a retrial in the murder case against 76-year-old Alabama man Marvin C. “Skip” McClendon Jr., who has pleaded not guilty.McClendon, a former Chelmsford resident, was arrested in Alabama last year, decades after Tremblay disappeared. McClendon was linked to the killing through DNA evidence, according to a prosecutor.“While we would have preferred a guilty verdict we thank God that it wasn’t not guilty and that this isn’t the end,” the family of “Missy” Tremblay wrote in a statement released Friday, days after the judge ordered a retrial. “The last month has been a very long one and we would like to thank all those that have been there to support us.

Google has agreed to settle a $5 billion privacy lawsuit alleging that it spied on people who used the “incognito” mode in its Chrome browser — along with similar “private” modes in other browsers — to track their internet use.The class-action lawsuit filed in 2020 said Google misled users into believing that it wouldn’t track their internet activities while using incognito mode. It argued that Google’s advertising technologies and other techniques continued to catalog details of users’ site visits and activities despite their use of supposedly “private” browsing.The settlement, reached Thursday, must still be approved by a federal judge. Terms weren’t disclosed, but the suit originally sought $5 billion on behalf of users; lawyers for the plaintiffs said they expect to present the court with a final settlement agreement by Feb. 24.Consulting firm McKinsey agrees to $78 million settlementConsulting firm McKinsey and Co. has agreed to pay $78 million to settle claims from...Patriots make series of roster moves ahead of Week 17 matchup with Bills
