Rather, the issue in that case was whether “the negligence of the plaintiff should be compared with that of each individual defendant [who participated in the trial,] rather than making a comparison between the negligence of the plaintiff and the negligence of all defendants [at trial] combined.” Graci v. Damon, 376 Mass. 931, 931 (1978).

v.
Brenda Malone

384 N.E.2d 624
Priscilla Labovitz (Philip Weinberg with her) for the defendant., Stephen M. Needle, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.
Cited by 6 opinions  |  Published

As in Commonwealth v. Vitello, ante 426 (1978), the defendant in this case excepted to- the admission of polygraph evidence as part of the Commonwealth’s case in chief. As in that case, therefore, we order a new trial. As an afterthought, the Commonwealth contends that the ViieZ-Zo decision should be limited to prospective application, but we impose no such limitation. Also as an afterthought, the Commonwealth contends that the error was harmless, but we are not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt.

Judgments of the Superior Court Department reversed.

Verdicts set aside.
