Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court August 17, 2000 (Commonwealth v. Degro)

Cowin, J.

A jury convicted the defendant of murder in the first degree on the theory of deliberate premeditation. We consolidate the appeal from his conviction with the appeal from the trial judge’s denial of his motion for a new trial. The defendant claims numerous errors occurred during the trial and that the judge erred in the denial of his motion for a new trial.
