The defendants, Longo, Garthe, and Sullivan, indicted for murder, were convicted after joint trial of the lesser included offense of assault and battery of Edward Mullan. 2 The Appeals Court reversed the convictions, concluding that the defendants’ motions for required findings of not guilty should have been granted. The Appeals Court determined that the Commonwealth failed to introduce sufficient evidence of a criminal joint venture. Commonwealth v. Longo, 23 Mass. App. Ct. 518 (1987). We granted the Commonwealth’s application for further appellate review. We affirm the convictions.
