Jones v. State
Annotate this CaseIn 2006, Appellant was found guilty of murder. The Supreme Court affirmed on appeal. In 2013, Appellant filed a petition for postconviction relief, asserting that certain medical evidence, known to Appellant at the time of his direct appeal, contradicted the opinion testimony of the State’s medical expert at trial. The postconviction court denied the petition, concluding that the petition was not timely filed and was procedurally barred under the Knaffla rule. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the the postconviction court did not err in summarily dismissing Appellant’s petition because it was untimely under Minn. Stat. 590.01(4)(a).
