Holding that an unobjected-to jury instruction that omitted the “knowing” element of the offense constituted plain error
In a case involving a separate prosecution against Watkins, the court of appeals vacated the DANCO that was issued, holding that the district court lacked authority to impose a DANCO as part of an executed prison sentence. See State v. Watkins, No. A11–1324, 2012 WL 3155948, at *5 (Minn.App. Aug. 6, 2012), rev. denied (Minn.Oct. 24, 2012). Consequently, Watkins' challenge to the DANCO is moot.
