Holdings:

The Massachusetts Court made the following holding:

•  A motion for a required finding of not guilty will be allowed only where the evidence is insufficient as a matter of law to sustain a conviction on the charge. Mass. R. Crim. P. 25(a). The appellate court reviews the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution to determine whether any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. A conviction may rest entirely on circumstantial evidence.
• It is well within the trial judge's discretion to deny a mistrial on the ground of prosecutorial misconduct and to rely on appropriate curative instructions even in the case of intentional misstatements by the prosecution.
