Commonwealth v. Tassinari
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

1Opinion of the CourtIreland, C.J.
On November 1, 2010, a jury found the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree of his wife on the theories of deliberate premeditation and extreme atrocity or cruelty. The defendant argues error in the admission of evidence; the judge’s failure to exclude a juror based on the juror’s assertions of dual citizenship; portions of the prosecutor’s argument; and jury instructions. He also seeks relief pursuant to G. L. c. 278, § 33E. Because we discern no error requiring reversal of the defendant’s conviction, and see no reason to exercise our power under G. L. c. 278, § 33E, we affirm.
