3 Mass. App. Ct. 796

Commonwealth v. Waldron

Massachusetts Appeals Court

Decided December 19, 1975

Massachusetts Appeals Court · decided 1975-12-19

Relies on Commonwealth v. Welcome · Commonwealth v. Tatisos · Malchanoff v. Truehart

Decided 1975-12-19

¶1We are satisfied that the trial judge’s determination of the competency of the complaining minor witness to testify was well warranted by the testimony in the voir dire on that subject. Commonwealth v. Tatisos, 238 Mass. 322, 325-326 (1921). Commonwealth v. Welcome, 348 Mass. 68, 70 (1964). Malchanoff v. Truehart, 354 Mass. 118, 120-122 (1968). Although no motion to strike her testimony was thereafter made, we observe nothing in that testimony which casts serious doubt on the correctness of the original determination.

¶2 Judgment affirmed.
