Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

Re: Prior Bad Acts...

I am guessing that your question relates to whether a Judge will allow a motion to suppress the introduction of these acts at your trial. If this is the case, read on.

You will likely succeed in suppressing these, if your lawyer brings a motion to prevent their introduction. At sentencing, or in considering a plea or at a bail hearing, these are going to be considered by any Judge if the case is heard in Massachusetts. If you are found guilty, you probably face a stiff sentence, my guess is 1 to 2.5 years of committed time. If there are multiple "counts" on the criminal complaint, you could be sentenced to that amount for each "count". For example, if there are 4 counts, you could face up to 2.5 x 4 = 10 years.

Listen carefully to your attorney's advice. Yours will be a challenging case. 34 priors will put you in the group of 1% of the most serious offenders, if you are convicted.
