Bobo v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court denying Defendant's fifth petition for postconviction relief, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying postconviction relief.
After a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. At issue was Defendant's fifth postconviction petition for relief alleging a newly discovered evidence claim. The district court concluded that Defendant failed to satisfy the newly discovered evidence exception in Minn. Stat. 590.01, subd. 4(b)(2) and denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court (1) properly excluded certain recordings of jail calls and an affidavit as inadmissible hearsay; and (2) did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant's request for a new trial.
