Mar 10, 1986
Reporters:

We adopt the analysis and conclusion in the ‍​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌‍well constructed opinion of the Appeals Court. 20 Mass. App. Ct. 541 (1985). We decline to modify the ‍​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌‍quantitative role at this time because this case is not an appropriate vehicle for such ‍​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌‍modification.

The judgment of the Superior Court on indictment no. 039591 is reversed, the verdict is ‍​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌‍set aside, and judgment is to be entered for the defendant. The judgment of the Superior ‍​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​​‌‍Court is affirmed on indictment no. 039590.

So ordered.
