Charles Bolster

Judge Charles Stephen Bolster (1894–1993) was a judge at the Middlesex Superior Court in East Cambridge, Massachusetts and a long-time resident of Southport Island, Maine who is best known for his involvement in the case of the Boston Strangler.

Judge Bolster was a respected but undistinguished judge who was known to be unapologetically fair toward the defense despite being an arch-conservative in an extremely liberal state.
