Commonwealth v. Hinds

The defendant was charged in seven indictments with unlawful possession of child pornography. G. L. c. 272, § 29C. A Superior Court judge denied a pretrial motion to suppress images found on his personal computer. After a jury-*55waived trial, the defendant was convicted as charged on all seven indictments. The defendant appealed, arguing that (1) the judge erred in denying his motion to suppress and (2) the evidence was insufficient to prove that the defendant possessed child pornography. We transferred the case here on our own motion. We affirm the convictions.
