Commonwealth v. Richardson
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided July 15, 1996PublishedCited by 53 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtLynch, J.
A Suffolk County grand jury returned three indictments charging the defendant with rape of a child under the age of sixteen years with force. After a second trial,1 the jury convicted the defendant of the offense alleged in the first indictment and acquitted him on the two remaining indictments. The Appeals Court reversed, Commonwealth v. Richardson, 38 Mass. App. Ct. 384 (1995),2 concluding that the admission of certain expert testimony was prejudicial error. We granted the Commonwealth’s application for further appellate review and now affirm the judgment of the Superior Court.
