Judge Revokes Bradley Rein's Bail for 90 Days After Alcohol-Test Failure in 2022 Apple Store Crash Case

3 articles · Updated · The Boston Globe · Aug 17

Summary

  • Brockton Superior Court ordered Bradley Rein held without bail for 90 days after prosecutors said he failed a routine alcohol test, violating pretrial release terms.
  • Rein, 57, had been barred from drinking and was already wearing an alcohol-monitoring bracelet after what prosecutors called repeated violations of less restrictive supervision.
  • The Hingham man is awaiting a Jan. 19, 2027 trial on charges including second-degree murder and motor vehicle homicide in the Nov. 21, 2022 Apple Store crash that killed Kevin Bradley, 65, and injured 22 others.
  • Court records show his bail had already been revoked after 2023 GPS-monitoring lapses, and prosecutors sought tighter alcohol controls again in 2025, arguing the core problem was compliance rather than supervision.
