"We conclude, as a matter of first impression, that a defendant may be convicted of human trafficking under G. L. c. 265, §50(a), so long as the jury find that the defendant knowingly trafficked another person, regardless of whether that person is specifically identified," Justice Frank M.

"The defendants' attorneys undoubtedly performed a significant service for their clients by securing a dismissal of the plaintiff's claims with prejudice—arguably the best possible outcome in the case. Such a result is also exceedingly rare, as dismissal is the most severe sanction imposed by the court and is typically reserved for only the most egregious conduct," U.S. District Judge James P.

"[W]e agree with the defendant and do not read the statute to apply only where both a blood draw and subsequent chemical test or analysis is done by or at the direction of police.

Cypher wrote on behalf of the state high court.
