Opinion
No. 41789.
May 26, 1972.
Criminal law — aggravated robbery conviction — sufficiency of evidence — adequacy of representation — claimed illegal search.
Appeal by Darrell R. Weigold from a judgment of the Hennepin County District Court, Theodore B. Knudson, Judge, whereby he was convicted of aggravated robbery. Upon remand, the trial court denied appellant's petition for postconviction relief. Affirmed.
C. Paul Jones, State Public Defender, and Doris O. Huspeni, Assistant State Public Defender, for appellant.
Warren Spannaus, Attorney General, George M. Scott, County Attorney, Henry W. McCarr, Jr., and David G. Roston, Assistant County Attorneys, for respondent.
Heard before Knutson, C. J., and Todd, MacLaughlin, and Gunn, JJ.
A jury found defendant guilty of aggravated robbery in violation of Minn. St. 609.245. An examination of the record discloses ample evidence to sustain the jury's verdict, and there is no basis for this court to disturb that verdict. State v. Norgaard, 272 Minn. 48, 52, 136 N.W.2d 628, 631 (1965); State v. Markuson, 261 Minn. 515, 517, 113 N.W.2d 346, 348 (1962).
We do not reach the question of the alleged illegal search since the evidence obtained thereby was not prejudicial, and its use at the trial was merely cumulative.
Defendant was represented by competent counsel throughout the entire proceedings, and his charges against his attorney at this time are wholly without merit.
Affirmed.
