LYNCH, J.
On April 5, 1995, a jury convicted the defendant of murder in the first degree based on deliberate premeditation and extreme atrocity or cruelty. The defendant now appeals, challenging the judge's jury instructions. Because he did not object to the judge's instructions below, we review them to determine whether there was a substantial likelihood of a miscarriage of justice. See G. L. c. 278, § 33E.
