Commonwealth v. Jason Estabrook

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for felony-murder and armed home invasion. It held that the prewarning sally-port conversation was not custodial interrogation, that the defendant’s subsequent Miranda waiver and statements were voluntary, and that an erroneous jury instruction did not create a substantial likelihood of a miscarriage of justice. The court also declined to grant extraordinary relief under G. L. c. 278, § 33E.
