Points East, Inc. v. City Councilgreen2 sentences1986Furthermore, even if material prejudice need be shown in a case such as this where “a neglectful appellant does not avail himself of the rescue apparatus in the last sentence of rule 10 (c),” Points East, Inc. v. City Council of Gloucester, 15 Mass. App. Ct. 722, 725 (1983), we cannot say that the judge was wrong in concluding that the plaintiff’s infractions indeed caused delay which in turn caused the defendant to be materially prejudiced. 1986See note 3, supra. The plaintiff, then, failed to avail herself of the “rescue apparatus in the last sentence of rule 10 (c)” which provides “[i]f, prior to the lower court’s hearing such motion, the appellant shall have cured the noncompliance, the appellant’s compliance shall be deemed timely.” Points East, Inc. v. City Council of Gloucester, 15 Mass. App. Ct. 722, 725 (1983). | 2 | 2 |
Commonwealth v. Cordeirogreen2 sentences2008If, from all the evidence, you have a reasonable doubt whether the defendant reasonably and in good faith, believed that [the complainant] voluntarily consented to engage in sexual intercourse, you must give the defendant the benefit of that reasonable doubt, and acquit him of this charge.” The last sentence of this instruction is drawn from an instruction given by the trial judge in Commonwealth v. Cordeiro, 401 Mass. 843, 849-850 (1988), and we noted in that case that the language was more generous to the defendant than the law required. 2008Id. at 850-851 & n.11. | 1 | 1 |
