Carlos Heard v. State of Minnesota

Syllabus

Assuming the Teague standard applies to state statutory and substantive law, neither State v. Coleman, 957 N.W.2d 72 (Minn. 2021), nor State v. Noor, 964 N.W.2d 424 (Minn. 2021), announced new rules of law concerning the mental-state element of third-degree depraved-mind murder under Minn. Stat. § 609.195(a) (2020), and thus, they do not apply retroactively to convictions that were final when Coleman and Noor were announced. Affirmed.
