Minnesota vs. Castillo-Alvarez
Annotate this Case
Appellant Juan Humberto Castillo-Alvarez challenged his convictions for second-degree murder and kidnapping. Appellant contended that Minn. Stat. 609.045 (2012) and the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Minnesota Constitution bar the prosecution in this case. He also asserted that the district court erred in admitting evidence of his unrecorded statement to law enforcement. Because neither section 609.045 nor the Minnesota Constitution bar the prosecution and because the district court properly admitted appellant's unrecorded statement, the Supreme Court affirmed.
