Turner v. State

Supreme Court of Minnesota
Aug 15, 1975
232 N.W.2d 246 (Minn. 1975)

Opinion

Nos. 44971, 44993.

August 15, 1975.

Criminal law — postconviction proceeding — denial of relief — propriety.

Appeal by Eugene Robert Turner from an order of the Hennepin County District Court, Douglas K. Amdahl, Judge, denying his petition for postconviction relief after he was convicted of murder in the second degree. Affirmed.

Eugene Robert Turner, pro se, for appellant.

Warren Spannaus, Attorney General, Gary W. Flakne, County Attorney, and Vernon E. Bergstrom, Michael McGlennen, and David W. Larson, Assistant County Attorneys, for respondent.

Considered and decided by the court without oral argument.


In State v. Turner, 295 Minn. 539, 203 N.W.2d 539 (1973), we affirmed petitioner's conviction for second-degree murder, Minn. St. 609.19. Thereafter, he sought postconviction relief, and it is from the district court order denying such relief that he now appeals.

Petitioner raises numerous issues in his pro se brief, including issues relating to the fairness of his trial and the competence of his counsel. After reviewing the record we have concluded that it supports the district court's order denying postconviction relief, and accordingly we affirm.

Affirmed.

MR. JUSTICE SCOTT took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
