Tscheu v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant was convicted of first-degree murder while committing first-degree criminal sexual conduct causing personal injury. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction on appeal. Appellant subsequently filed a petition for postconviction relief, alleging a claim of newly discovered evidence. After an evidentiary hearing, the postconviction court denied the petition, concluding that the newly discovered evidence was not credible and, therefore, was not likely to produce a result more favorable to Appellant. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the postconviction court did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellant's petition for postconviction relief, as the record supported the court's credibility determinations.
