Commonwealth v. Sespedes
Massachusetts Appeals Court
1Opinion of the Court
Convicted of trafficking in heroin (100 grams or more) and in cocaine (200 grams or more), the defendant seeks reversal of the judgments, based on (1) the denial of his motion to suppress keys seized from his person during a search of his third-floor apartment, as well as drugs found in the false ceiling of a vacant second-floor apartment to which access was gained by means of the seized keys; and (2) the denial of his motions for required findings of not guilty on both indictments. We discern no errors in the challenged rulings and affirm the judgments of conviction.
