Commonwealth v. Alvarado
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided July 23, 1996PublishedCited by 86 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtWilkins, J.
We consider, on further appellate review, the question whether the defendant’s motion to suppress a gun that the police seized from him should have been allowed. A District Court judge denied the suppression motion, which was based on art. 14 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights and the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. A divided Appeals Court agreed, affirming the defendant’s conviction of carrying a firearm without having a license to do so (G. L. c. 269, § 10 [a] [1994 *267ed.]). Commonwealth v. Alvarado, 38 Mass. App. Ct. 650 (1995).1
