Legal Opinion

Commonwealth v. Pinckney

Massachusetts Appeals Court

Decided June 11, 2018No. 16–P–1642Published

1Opinion of the Court

Following a jury trial in the Boston Municipal Court, the defendant, Shaquan L. Pinckney, was convicted of several firearm-related offenses. On appeal, he only challenges the denial of his motion to suppress the firearm. We affirm.

Background. We summarize the judge's findings of fact entered orally after the hearing on the motion to suppress.2 We have supplemented the findings with evidence that is "uncontroverted and undisputed" because the judge credited the testifying police officer, who was the sole witness at the suppression hearing. Commonwealth v. Isaiah I., 448 Mass. 334, 337 (2007).
