Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Jairin Perez v. Commonwealth

July 30, 2025

Summary

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court held that double jeopardy does not bar resentencing Jairin Perez to consecutive life sentences with parole eligibility, that a resentencing hearing—not a simple mittimus correction—is required, and that Perez must receive credit for time already served on each sentence. The court remanded for entry of a judgment consistent with these holdings.
