Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided March 13, 1989PublishedCited by 51 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtHennessey, C.J.
The Commonwealth challenges an order of a Superior Court judge in Middlesex County suppressing all evidence illegally seized from the defendants, Jose Parapar and Israel Acosta. A single justice of this court allowed the Commonwealth’s application, under Mass. R. Crim. P. 15 (b) (2), as amended, 397 Mass. 1225 (1986), for leave to appeal and trans ferred the case to the full court. We now reverse the order allowing the defendants’ motion to suppress. Our decision is based upon art. 14 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights; any references to Federal case law are for purposes of analogy.
