• affirming judge’s denial of motion for mistrial and curative instruction where testimony was introduced that photograph in array was from juvenile’s prior arrest
• finding no error in removal of sole Hispanic venireman because of his difficulty understanding English language
• jury would have understood prosecutor’s suggestion that they place themselves in the witnesses’ shoes as a mere “rhetorical effort” to explain the witnesses’ testimony
• “The fact that [a coventurer] was found guilty only of murder in the second degree at his separate trial also does not warrant § 33E relief for the defendant”
• “[T]he thrust of the [prosecutor’s] argument was plainly apparent, and the jury could not have understood it for anything more than a rhetorical effort on the part of the prosecutor to explain” why the testimony of the Commonwealth’s witnesses was indeed credible
