State v. Perry
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of three counts of aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence assault, and related offenses. Defendant appealed, arguing, inter alia, that the court erred in denying his motion to suppress statements he made to a police officer prior to his arrest. Defendant also appealed his sentence. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding (1) the court did not err in concluding that Defendant was not in custody for Miranda purposes and consequently denying his motion to suppress; (2) the court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the testimony of an expert witness who testified about the causes, effects, and symptoms of strangulation; and (3) the court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Defendant.
