State v. Brown

Supreme Court of Minnesota
Dec 17, 1981
313 N.W.2d 207 (Minn. 1981)

Opinion

No. 81-306.

December 17, 1981.

Appeal from District Court, Ramsey County; Sidney P. Abramson, St. Paul, Judge.

C. Paul Jones, Public Defender, and Susan K. Maki, Asst. Public Defender, Minneapolis, for appellant.

Warren Spannaus, Atty. Gen., St. Paul, Thomas W. Foley, County Atty., Steven C. De Coster, Asst. County Atty., St. Paul, for respondent.

Considered and decided by the court en banc without oral argument.


Appeal from a judgment of conviction of criminal sexual conduct in the first and second degree.

After the appeal was taken, the United States Supreme Court filed its opinion in Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 101 S.Ct. 1880, 68 L.Ed.2d 378 (1981). Because this decision amplifies Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), it applies to this case. We therefore remand the matter to the district court for reconsideration of defendant's motion for a new trial in light of Edwards.
