Massachusetts Erroneous Conviction Statute and Insufficient Evidence Cases
Massachusetts law allows a person who has been the subject of an erroneous conviction to pursue a claim for compensation. To recover, a person must first show that he or she is eligible as a member of the class set forth under the statute and then must prove by clear and convincing evidence that he or she did not commit the offense. The Supreme Judicial Court recently considered the application of the erroneous conviction statute in a case where the conviction was overturned on appeal based on insufficient evidence.
