Colbert v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Darryl Colbert was convicted of premeditated first-degree murder. The Supreme Court affirmed Colbert's conviction on direct appeal. Colbert subsequently filed five petitions for postconviction relief, and the postconviction court denied each petition. In this case, Colbert appealed the postconviction court's denial of his fifth petition for postconviction relief. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Colbert's petition was time-barred under Minn. Stat. 590.01, subd. 4, which states that a person seeking relief has two years from the disposition of the person's direct appeal to file a petition for postconviction relief, because it was filed more than two years after it arose.
