23 Mass. App. Ct. 440 (1987)

503 N.E.2d 39

COMMONWEALTH vs. BOBBY GLENN.

Appeals Court of Massachusetts, Barnstable.

January 27, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas C. Federico, Committee for Public Counsel Services, for the defendant.

Don L. Carpenter, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.

Present: WARNER, CUTTER, & FINE, JJ.

FINE, J.

His attorney did not object to the instructions. We conclude that the error was sufficiently serious in the context of the whole trial that the instructions created a substantial risk of a miscarriage of justice. See Commonwealth v. Freeman,
