Amado v. Commonwealth

This is a petition for a writ of error by Amado who was sentenced on June 27, 1963, to a term of years for armed robbery. A single justice found the facts and reserved and reported the case for the decision of the full court. The record includes the transcript of the trial and the docket in the Superior Court. There is no indication that any review on issues of law was sought by any usual appellate process (i.e. by bill of exceptions or under G. L. c. 278, §§ 33A-33G).

1. Amado and one Pina were indicted for assault on November 27, 1961, “armed with a dangerous weapon, to wit: a toy pistol”…
