The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court affirmed orders denying Defendant’s pretrial and postconviction motions, holding that no reversible error occurred in the proceedings below.

Even though the defendant was at the police station, he was not in “custody” for Miranda purposes and therefore no Miranda warning was required.
