452 N.E.2d 216

COMMONWEALTH vs. MARK SCHULZE.

Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, Middlesex.

July 22, 1983.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Brownlow M. Speer for the defendant.

Kevin J. Ross, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.

Present: HENNESSEY, C.J., WILKINS, LIACOS, ABRAMS, & NOLAN, JJ.


WILKINS, J.

In this appeal, which is here on the defendant's application for further appellate review (Commonwealth v. Schulze, 14 Mass.App.Ct. 343 [1982]), we conclude that relevant evidence concerning the defendant's lack of criminal responsibility was improperly excluded and that the defendant may have been significantly prejudiced thereby. We therefore reverse his convictions and order a new trial.
