Commonwealth v. LePore
Massachusetts Appeals Court

1Opinion of the CourtKass, J.
Erasmo LePore was convicted of being a disorderly person (G. L. c. 272, § 53)1 by a Boston Municipal Court judge, sitting without a jury.2 On his appeal, he urges that the evidence adduced by the Commonwealth, read generously in its favor, failed to prove the elements of the crime and that his motion for a required finding of not guilty was erroneously denied. Critically absent from the proof, the defendant maintains, is that anyone saw and was, therefore, disturbed by the conduct identified as disorderly. The defendant also argues error in the admission of certain evidence. We affirm.
