SJC-10251

Commonwealth v. A Juvenile

 

The issues presented are: whether the provisions of G. L. c. 265, § 47, requiring GPS monitoring are properly applicable to an accused juvenile; whether that statute is applicable to pre-disposition pretrial probationers; whether the statute is applicable to a juvenile whose alleged offenses took place before the enactment of the statute.

 

Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020). Parties filing amicus briefs are expected to comply with the requirements of Rules 17, 19 and 20 of Mass. Rules of Appellate Procedure. Amicus briefs, to assist the court, should focus on the ramifications of a decision and not solely on the interests of the parties filing such briefs.
