SJC-10442
Commonwealth v. Kevin G. Medeiros
The issue presented, among others, is whether the defendant's conviction for aggravated rape was a logically inconsistent jury verdict, where two co-defendants were charged with aggravated rape as joint venturers and one co-defendant was acquitted of aggravated rape.
Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020). Parties filing amicus briefs are expected to comply with the requirements of Rules 17, 19 and 20 of Mass. Rules of Appellate Procedure. Amicus briefs, to assist the court, should focus on the ramifications of a decision and not solely on the interests of the parties filing such briefs.
