COMMONWEALTH vs. RICHARD F. AMES.

Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, Hampshire.

July 9, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stella Xanthakos (Ellen M. LaCroix with her) for the defendant.

Danielle J. Barshak, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.

Present: LIACOS, C.J., WILKINS, ABRAMS, O'CONNOR, & GREANEY, JJ.


WILKINS, J.

In this appeal from his conviction of vehicular homicide while operating under the influence of intoxicating liquor (G.L.c. 90, § 24G [a] [1990 ed.]), the defendant argues that his motion to dismiss the charge should have been allowed because the police failed to give him notice of his statutory right to an examination by a physician of his choice. See G.L.c. 263, § 5A (1990 ed.).
