Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Commonwealth v. Ralph Brown
July 10, 2025
Summary
The court affirmed the defendant's conviction of murder in the first degree, concluding that the search warrants were valid, the grand jury proceedings were not materially impaired, the voir dire errors did not create a substantial likelihood of a miscarriage of justice, the evidence was sufficient, and the prosecutor's closing argument was permissible. The court separately vacated the firearm convictions and remanded for further proceedings. No separate opinions were filed.
