Spousal Privilege in Massachusetts

What is the marital privilege (sometimes referred to as the spousal privilege)? Boston defense attorney Joseph Simons explains how the marital privilege can be used to avoid testifying against a spouse in court. One notable exception is for cases of alleged child abuse, but other than that, it is a wide protection for spouses who seek to avoid having to testify.
