1Opinion of the CourtFecteau, J.
The defendant appeals from his conviction, after a jury trial in the Superior Court, of conspiracy to commit automotive insurance fraud, in violation of G. L. c. 266, § 11 IB. Specifically, he complains that (1) the judge erred when he denied the defendant’s motion for a required finding of not guilty; (2) the judge should have given a specific unanimity instruction; (3) the Commonwealth’s expert overstepped the proper bounds of expert testimony; and (4) there was prosecutorial error in the Commonwealth’s closing argument. We affirm.
