Commonwealth v. Petrozziello
Massachusetts Appeals Court
Decided April 15, 1986PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtGreaney, C.J.
The defendant moved in the Superior Court to dismiss indictments charging him with murder in the first degree and armed robbery. He maintains that dismissal was required because the Commonwealth had violated the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (Agreement), to which both the Commonwealth (St. 1965, c. 892, § 1) and the United States (Pub. L. No. 91-538, 84 Stat. 1397 [1970]) are parties. After an evidentiary hearing, a judge of the Superior Court denied the motion and reported the question of the correctness of his ruling to this court. See Mass.R.Crim.P. 34, 378 Mass. 905 (1979).
