Commonwealth v. Carrington

271 N.E.2d 663, 359 Mass. 768, 1971 Mass. LEXIS 1000

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court·Decided June 29, 1971·Published

Opinion

The defendant was convicted of armed robbery and of unlawfully carrying a dangerous weapon. On appeal under the provisions of G. L. c. 278, §§ 33A-33G, he assigns as error the trial judge’s charge to the jury with respect to the issue of intent. The defendant’s contentions are devoid of merit. Considering the charge as a whole (Commonwealth v. Pinnick, 354 Mass. 13, 15), the jury received full and fan- instructions from the judge as to the requirement that there must be a union of act and intent. See Commonwealth v. Binkiewicz, 342 Mass. 740, 749-753.

J-udgments affirmed.
