Commonwealth v. Dabney
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Judicial Court affirmed Defendant’s convictions of human trafficking, deriving support from prostitution, and assault and battery, thus rejecting Defendant’s claims of error. The court held (1) the trial judge did not abuse her discretion in limiting defense counsel’s questioning during voir dire; (2) the evidence against Defendant was legally sufficient to sustain a conviction of human trafficking; (3) there was no error in the instruction to the jury regarding the human trafficking charge; and (4) the trial judge did not err in allowing the introduction of certain records and then retroactively ordering them to be redacted.
