Rhodes v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder and sentenced to mandatory life imprisonment. The Supreme Court affirmed on appeal and affirmed the denial of Appellant’s first and second postconviction petitions. This appeal arose from the postconviction court’s summary denial of Appellant’s third and fourth petitions for postconviction relief on the grounds that the petitions were untimely. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the postconviction court did not abuse its discretion by determining that Appellant’s third petition was untimely under Minn. Stat. 590.01(4)(c) and that Appellant’s fourth postconviction petition was untimely under Minn. Stat. 590.01(4)(b)(2).
