Disappointing—but not surprising, after the initial order in the case—to read SJC's basis for not overturning Curran's conviction for lack of proper waiver of the right to in-person trial.

Check out my brief which I’m arguing tomorrow. I’ll be arguing that a judge must advise a defendant of certain rights before a zoom trial. https://t.co/7CZNHhmToQ @CPCSnews@BostonBar @houstoninst @KatieSpavento @MassBar@MACourts
Tomorrow's SJC argument calendar includes Comm. v. Curran, in which @BostonBar@MassCrimDefense & @houstoninst joined a @CPCSnews amicus brief arguing that before a virtual or hybrid Zoom trial, defendants must be apprised through a colloquy of the constitutional rights at stake.
