COMMONWEALTH vs. SEBASTIAN PARES-RAMIREZ.

Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, Middlesex.

August 11, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael R. Schneider, Committee for Public Counsel Services, for the defendant.

Natalea Skvir, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.

Present: HENNESSEY, C.J., WILKINS, ABRAMS, LYNCH, & O'CONNOR, JJ.


O'CONNOR, J.

The defendant appeals from convictions of murder in the second degree and unlawfully carrying a firearm. At trial, it was not disputed that the defendant had shot the victim, but the defendant claimed that he had acted in self-defense. On appeal, he argues that his defense was undermined by two prejudicial errors. The first claimed error is the denial of his pretrial motion to suppress a statement that he had signed.
