Holdings:

The Massachusetts Court made the following holding:

  • Where a defendant fails to object to a trial court's failure to provide a requested jury instruction, an appellate court reviews to determine whether the alleged error created a substantial risk of a miscarriage of justice. Mass.R.Crim.P. 24(b). In determining whether the failure to give an instruction created such a risk, the following test is applied: (1) whether the Commonwealth presented a strong case against the defendant; (2) whether the error is sufficiently significant in the context of the trial to make plausible an inference that the jury's result might have been otherwise but for the error; and (3) whether it can be inferred from the record that counsel's failure to object was not simply a reasonable tactical decision.
