Commonwealth v. Oyewole
Annotate this CaseFollowing a jury-waived trial, Defendant was convicted of operating a motor vehicle after his license had been suspended for operating while under the influence of alcohol. The Appeals Court affirmed. At issue on appeal was whether Defendant received notice of the suspension of his license. The Supreme Judicial Court reversed the judgment, holding that the record contained no evidence demonstrating that Defendant was notified of the license suspension - and actually contained some evidence suggesting the contrary - and therefore, the Commonwealth did not meet its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt every element of the offense.
