Commonwealth v. DiStefano
Massachusetts Appeals Court
Decided July 22, 1986PublishedCited by 27 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtKass, J.
Upon motions by the defendants, a judge of the Superior Court ordered the suppression of evidence seized during a search of the defendants’ home at 25 East Elm Street, Everett. The Commonwealth applied to a single justice of the Supreme Judicial Court for leave to take an interlocutory appeal under Mass.R.Crim.P. 15(b)(2), 378 Mass. 884 (1979). The single justice granted the application and ordered that the case be heard by a panel of this court.
We review the adequacy of the affidavit made by a State police officer in support of the search warrant under which the police acted.
