Commonwealth v. Halletgreen
mass · 1998 · cited in 1 Massachusetts opinions naming this issue, 2003–2003
1 sentence

2003Boateng’s trial counsel did not request a voluntariness hearing, nor did he object to the failure to hold one. 5 Although an objection may be resurrected in a motion for a new trial if the motion judge considers the unobjected-to error on its merits, see Commonwealth v. Hallet, 427 Mass. 552, 553 (1998), the judge here confined his analysis to whether Boateng’s trial counsel had been ineffective and, if so, whether a miscarriage of justice had resulted.
