Recent Minnesota Supreme Court Grants of Petitions For Further Review.

State v. Morales, Minn.Ct.App., 4/28/09, review granted, 7/23/2009.  I wrote about this opinion here.  This is the whore house robbery/murder with a mess of interlocking statements.  The Court of Appeals thought that the evidence rulings had been sufficiently botched to require a new trial.  The Supreme Court has granted the State’s petition for further review.

Finnegan v. State, Minn.Ct.App., 5/5/2009, review granted, 7/23/2009.  This is the case where the Court of Appeals said that attempting suicide is a voluntary absence from attendance at trial such that the trial may continue anyway.  I wrote about this opinion here.  The Supreme Court has granted Mr. Finnegan’s petition for further review.
