Charles Bolster

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. He graduated from Harvard College in 1915 and Harvard Law School in 1920.

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.
