Description
Dismissal of indictments charging the defendants with rape was not required on the basis that the Commonwealth had withheld from the grand jury evidence that a doctor had testified at the probable cause hearing that in his opinion the victim was ""probably"" a virgin when he examined her some fourteen hours after the alleged rape. [612-614] The Judge at a criminal trial did not abuse his discretion in refusing to allow the defendants to make their opening statements after the opening statement of the Commonwealth, as permitted by Mass.R.Crim.P. 24(a) (1), where defense counsel failed to establish a reasonable basis for their belief that certain evidence to be previewed in their openings would be forthcoming during the Commonwealth's case; nor was there support in the record for the defendants' claim that they were prejudiced by such refusal. [614-617]
