After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder and attempted first-degree murder. Defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment. The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions on direct appeal. Defendant filed a petition for habeas corpus relief in federal district court, which was denied, and a petition for postconviction relief in state court, which was also denied. Defendant subsequently filed a second petition for postconviction relief, which the postconviction court denied after concluding that the petition was filed after the expiration of the two-year limitations period in Minn. Stat. 590.01, subd. 4(a)(2). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the petition as untimely, as the petition satisfied neither exception to the limitations period.
