August 27, 2025 by Amanda Lurey

LYNNFIELD — John Kosta, 53, of Middleton, was arraigned July 29 for the murder of Timothy O’Neil of Lynnfield. Kosta returned to court Wednesday for a probable cause hearing.

Case records are presumed to be open to the public, unless they are impounded or sealed as a matter of law or impounded by a court order.

According to media contact Mike Keefe-Feldman, the case was impounded at Kosta’s arraignment, meaning the court ordered to restrict public access to case documents.
