Bill Summary
For legislation to preserve certain appellate rights. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to preserve certain appellate rights in criminal proceedings. It amends the Massachusetts General Laws to state that a written motion in limine (a pretrial motion to limit or exclude evidence) is sufficient to preserve an objection for appellate purposes, even if the objection is not orally renewed at trial, unless the trial judge explicitly requires the issue to be raised again at trial to be considered on the record.
