Mass. R. Crim. P. 12
Reporter's Notes--2022
These amendments to Rule 12(b)(5)(A), Rule 12(c)(4), and to the heading of Rule 12(c), implement the terminological change from "sentence" to "disposition" required by Commonwealth v. Beverly, 485 Mass. 1 (2020), to reflect more accurately that potential outcomes in criminal cases may include continuances without a finding or other non-conviction dispositions. Id., 485 Mass. at 8-9 (noting uses of both "sentence" and "disposition" in the rule).
