State v. Hanson

12 Citing cases

  1. State v. Cobb

    A12-0362 (Minn. Ct. App. Feb. 25, 2013)

    At trial, the defense attempted to discredit H.G.'s credibility and truthfulness. If H.G.'s mother had confirmed that she and Cobb watched movies with naked people in them, part of H.G.'s statements would have been corroborated. See State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328, 329 (Minn. App. 1984) (reversing trial court's suppression of sexually oriented magazines that child victim had described, in part because they "may assist the jury in determining [the victim's] credibility"). Moreover, the prosecutor's sole question did not result in the introduction of inadmissible evidence because H.G.'s mother did not answer the question, and the question itself was not evidence.

  2. State v. Goodwin

    No. A10-480 (Minn. Ct. App. May. 16, 2011)

    A probable-cause determination involves "practical considerations of everyday life," not legal technicalities. State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328, 329 (Minn. App. 1984) (quotation omitted). The issuing magistrate's task is to make a "practical, common-sense decision," in light of all the information provided, whether the search-warrant affidavit has established probable cause.

  3. State v. Trapp

    No. A09-2177 (Minn. Ct. App. Aug. 31, 2010)   Cited 1 times

    A probable-cause determination involves "practical considerations of everyday life," not legal technicalities. State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328, 329 (Minn. App. 1984) (quotation omitted). The issuing magistrate's task is to make a "practical, common-sense decision," in light of all the information provided, whether the search-warrant affidavit has established probable cause.

  4. State v. Ross

    No. A08-1282 (Minn. Ct. App. Dec. 9, 2008)

    This confession is critical to the success of the prosecution because it corroborates the allegations of a young victim, and no other physical or scientific evidence corroborates her allegations, and her credibility and reliability are in question. See State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328, 329 (Minn.App. 1984) (ruling that corroboration of details of a child victim's story had critical impact). The victim here initially denied any sexual contact and then asserted sexual assault claims against respondent and others more than a month after the alleged incidents occurred.

  5. State v. Cain

    No. A05-2224 (Minn. Ct. App. Mar. 14, 2006)

    This court has held that suppression of corroborating evidence that "may assist the jury in determining credibility" created a critical impact on the state's case in a case in which the only other evidence of a crime was the victim's testimony. State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328, 329 (Minn.App. 1984) (involving suppression of sexually explicit materials found in defendant's possession when child-victim of sexual assault had stated that defendant possessed such materials at the time of assault). In the context of child-sexual-abuse cases, the supreme court has also indicated that suppression of a defendant's confession will significantly reduce the likelihood of a successful prosecution.

  6. State v. Ahearn

    No. C8-01-1234 (Minn. Ct. App. Sep. 10, 2002)

    See State v. Wiskow, 501 N.W.2d 657, 658, 660 (Minn.App. 1993) (noting that a Playboy magazine was probative as corroboration of a child's testimony that her father showed her a Playboy magazine). In State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328, 328-29 (Minn.App. 1984), a nine-year-old child alleged that the respondent read her a "naked book." This court noted that the discovery of sexually explicit magazines in the defendant's apartment may be relevant to the jury's assessment of the child's credibility.

  7. McCrimmon v. State of Minnesota

    No. C0-97-573 (Minn. Ct. App. Nov. 10, 1997)

    The issue of staleness is determined by the circumstances of each case . See e.g. State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328, 329 (Minn.App. 1984) (citing Sgro v. United States, 287 U.S. 206, 53 S.Ct. 138 (1932)). The supreme court has enumerated several relevant factors to be considered.

  8. State v. Ronnebaum

    446 N.W.2d 699 (Minn. Ct. App. 1989)   Cited 3 times

    See Minn.Stat. ยง 595.02, subd. 3 (1988). The state asserts the suppression of respondent's confession will have a critical impact in this case similar to that in State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328 (Minn.Ct.App. 1984). In Hanson, this court found the suppression of evidence of sexually explicit magazines obtained from a search, which was corroborative of a nine-year-old victim's statement that she had read a "naked book," would have a critical impact because the "materials she described may assist the jury in determining credibility."

  9. State v. Miggler

    419 N.W.2d 81 (Minn. Ct. App. 1988)   Cited 8 times
    Distinguishing Jacobsen because search had been conducted in defendant's home and had exceeded scope of private search, among other reasons

    In this trial, the footlocker and its contents do not appear to be admissible. The suppressed evidence cannot corroborate the testimony of the alleged victim as in State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328 (Minn.Ct.App. 1984). In Hanson the trial court suppressed sexually oriented magazines that the child victim had described.

  10. State v. Recio-Arecibia

    404 N.W.2d 853 (Minn. Ct. App. 1987)   Cited 1 times

    Corroboration of the details of a child victim's story in some cases may have a critical impact. See State v. Hanson, 355 N.W.2d 328, 329 (Minn.Ct.App. 1984) (suppression of sexually explicit magazines mentioned in child victim's story held to have a critical impact). Such an impact is not shown here.
