Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court June 1, 1993 (Adams v. Commonwealth)

Wilkins, J.

Eydris Adams (whom we shall call the defendant), asserting double jeopardy principles, argues that his trial in a jury session of the Dorchester Division of the District Court Department on a charge of homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle (G. L. c. 90, § 24G [6] [1990 ed.]) was barred by what occurred at his earlier bench trial in the Dorchester District Court.
