State v. Radke
Annotate this CaseAppellant was arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder. At trial, Appellant admitted shooting the victim, but claimed he did so in self-defense and without premeditation. The jury, rejecting Appellant's self-defense claim, found Appellant guilty of first-degree premeditated murder, and the district court sentenced Appellant to life in prison without the possibility of release. Appellant thereafter filed a petition for postconviction relief, which the postconviction court denied. The Supreme Court affirmed Appellant's conviction and the postconviction court's denial of postconviction relief, holding that each of Appellant's claims was either without merit or did not result in prejudice to Appellant.
