5 Massachusetts opinions name it 2 courts 1982–2015 0 in the last five years
The cases below were cited by Massachusetts courts in a sentence that names this issue. Sides come from how each citing opinion treated the case (Syfertize flag on that citation), so a case can appear on both: that is where the law is contested. A red or yellow chip is the case's own overall treatment.
| Case | Followed | Cited |
|---|---|---|
Commonwealth v. Emenygreen1 sentence2015See Commonwealth v. Emeny, 463 Mass. 138, 145 (2012). 25 The photographs were admitted through a State police trooper who attended the autopsy. 26 Contrary to the defendant’s suggestion, the fact that the victim suffered certain injuries did not indicate that the defendant had inflicted them. | 1 | 1 |
Commonwealth v. Scottgreen1 sentence2015See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Scott, 470 Mass. 320, 323 (2014) (State police criminologist testified “if somebody is up walking around, . . . semen would be draining out of her and would be on the underwear if she were wearing it,” and pattern of stains found on victim’s skirt was “consistent with drainage if a person were laying [sic] horizontal [ly]”). 24 The defendant correctly does not challenge the substitute medical examiner’s opinion testimony as to the cause of the victim’s death. | 1 | 1 |
Commonwealth v. Latimoregreen1 sentence1993Although the defendant correctly states the test of Commonwealth v. Latimore, 378 Mass. 671, 677 (1979) — “[the] question is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt” — he recites the facts as he would have them. | 1 | 1 |
Commonwealth v. Bongarzonegreen1 sentence1985Commonwealth v. Bongarzone, 390 Mass. 326, 338 (1983). | 1 | 1 |
Commonwealth v. Satterfieldgreen1 sentence1982Commonwealth v. Satterfield, 362 Mass. 78, 82 (1972) (crime committed with such savagery and brutality as to constitute murder committed with extreme atrocity or cruelty). | 1 | 1 |

Opinions by the citing court's state. A doctrine retained in one state and abandoned in another shows up here as a year span that stalls.
