Description
Police officers who responded promptly to a radio call reporting a probable firing of gunshots at a certain apartment building had probable cause and exigent circumstances to justify their warrantless entry of a thirdfloor apartment, to which they were directed by a bystander, and their seizure of items in plain view therein. [797-799] Where the Judge at a criminal trial, on the defendant's objection, disallowed a peremptory challenge by the Commonwealth of a prospective juror, and the Commonwealth immediately sought review of the Judge's action by means of a proceeding in this court under G. L. c. 211, § 3, the defendant's later election to proceed to trial with the challenged juror excused, rather than accept the Judge's offer of a continuance until the issue was resolved, precluded the defendant, on direct appeal of his convictions, from arguing that the juror was excused erroneously. [799-800]
