Commonwealth v. Gomez: A Conditional Victory for Defendants — Boston Lawyer Blog — August 31, 2018

31 Aug 2018  |  bostonlawyerblog.com
The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has recently recognized the right of defendants to enter a 'conditional plea.' This type of plea allows a defendant to plead guilty while preserving the right to appeal certain pre-trial legal rulings. If the appeal is successful, the plea is voided. This decision came in the case of Commonwealth v. Gomez, where the defendant sought to appeal a denied motion to suppress evidence. The Court's decision aligns Massachusetts with the majority of states and is seen as a practical measure to save time and resources by avoiding unnecessary trials. The Court has set guidelines for conditional pleas, requiring consent from the prosecutor and the court, and identification of the specific ruling to be appealed. The Court has also given trial courts the discretion to require that the motion to be appealed be 'dispositive,' meaning it could resolve the criminal case. The article ends with contact information for the law firm Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein LLP for those seeking legal assistance.
