Michael Glennon recently obtained an important decision in district court on behalf of the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center. The judge ruled that a defendant in a criminal case was not entitled to records he sought from BARCCC which related to a victim’s communications with a BARCC advocate. Under the Lampron-Dwyer protocol, the defendant must demonstrate a factual basis for believing the records contain material that has evidentiary value. Mike argued that the defendant’s request was little more than a fishing expedition intended to further harass the victim. The judge agreed and the defendant’s Rule 17 motion was denied.
