Perry v. State, A06-1562, SUPREME COURT OF MINNESOTA, May 3, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In a first-degree premeditated murder case, denial of defendant's second petition for postconviction relief was proper because to the extent that he argued that Minn. Stat. § 609.11 should have been charged as an independent crime, his argument was Knaffla-barred in that he knew or should have known about this claim prior to his direct appeal.

State v. Fields, A04-2474, SUPREME COURT OF MINNESOTA, May 3, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because Fallin did not create sufficiently clear requirements for admissibility of Minn. R. Evid. 608(b) evidence and because the evidence of defendant's prior theft from his employer was probative of defendant's untruthfulness and was likely admissible, the prosecutor did not commit misconduct with the limited inquiry into the theft.

Wakefield Pork, Inc. v. RAM Mut. Ins. Co., A06-847, COURT OF APPEALS OF MINNESOTA, May 15, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: A district court properly granted an insurer summary judgment on an insured's complaint seeking costs for defending a complaint related to the operation of a pig farm as the alleged harm was excluded by the policy's pollution exclusion and was not covered by the policy's incidental-liability provisions. Thus, the insurer had no duty to defend.

In re City of Annandale, A04-2033, SUPREME COURT OF MINNESOTA, May 17, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Court of appeals erred when it reversed an agency's decision to issue a discharge permit for a proposed wastewater treatment plant; the agency's interpretation of 40 C.F.R. § 122.4(i) to allow offsets from another source in determining whether a new source would contribute to violation of water quality standards, was reasonable.

Stat. § 590.04 was proper as an argument based on Apprendi was raised in a postconviction petition, which was denied, and to the extent that the sentencing claim was different based on Blakely, it was Knaffla-barred.
