Overview: Because there was no question that defendant's negligent failure to stop at an intersection set in motion a chain of events that resulted in the victim's death, as the victim had to be intubated due to the accident, and the victim had the right to be taken off a ventilator, defendant was properly convicted under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 24G(b).

Commonwealth v. Eller, No. 05-P-632, APPEALS COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS, June 22, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because police officers saw defendant meet with a known cocaine addict and then return to the motel, and given his decade-long history of using his place of residence as a base for his drug selling operation, it was reasonable to infer that he continued his well-established pattern of selling drugs from his residence when he moved into a motel.
