Commonwealth v. Berrios

Massachusetts Appeals Court

Decided November 19, 2013No. 11-P-1426PublishedCited by 4 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtTrainor, J.

The defendant appeals from the denial of his motion for release from unlawful restraint, which challenged, as illegal, the imposition of community parole supervision for life (CPSL). This case presents two issues for our review and determination: first, whether the defendant waived his right to challenge the sufficiency of the criminal complaints by admitting to sufficient facts; second, whether CPSL could legally be imposed on the defendant for failing to register where he received a continuance without a finding (CWOF) rather than a conviction. We affirm.1
