Commonwealth v. Mattson
Massachusetts Appeals Court · Decided November 26, 1976
4 Mass. App. Ct. 856; 357 N.E.2d 30; 1976 Mass. App. LEXIS 662

Commonwealth v. Mattson

Opinion of the Court

The defendant was convicted of assault with intent to commit rape and has appealed. (G. L. c. 278, §§ 33A-33G.) He assigns as error the denial of his motion for a directed verdict on so much of the indictment as charged intent to rape. There was ample evidence which warranted the submission of the question of intent to the jury. No useful purpose would be served by restating that evidence. There was no error.

Judgment affirmed.
