 SJC-11215
Commonwealth v. Kim Domino

In circumstances in which the defendant was charged with failure to register as a sex offender and tendered a guilty plea after being incorrectly advised that he was subject to the law even though at the time of the alleged offense he was an unclassified level 0 offender, whether the plea was made knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently; whether the judge in accepting the plea and imposing a sentence of a $500 fine properly also imposed community parole supervision for life.

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.
