How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that \the giving of a [Tuey-Rodriquez] charge\ generally reflects a conclusion by the court that \the jury's deliberations were 'due and thorough'\ within the meaning of then-applicable Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 234, § 34
- judge properly refused to grant mistrial where note “did not state that the jury were hopelessly deadlocked”
- that jury returned fifteen minutes after Tuey-Rodriquez instruction with guilty verdict \does not point to coercion\
- judge’s statement that, after jury made their decision on whether they wanted to stop deliberating, he would make his decision was not coercive when jury knew they had the option of discontinuing deliberations
- \the giving of a [Tuey-]Rodriquez charge on the first return of the jury [suggesting impasse] . . . implied that the judge had concluded that the jury's deliberations were due and thorough\ [quotation and citation omitted]
- Tuey-Rodriquez instruction should “never” be given prematurely
