State of Minnesota v. Atravius Joseph Weeks

Syllabus

1. The district court abused its discretion when it summarily denied appellant's postconviction petition because when the facts alleged in support of the petition are viewed in the light most favorable to appellant, the petition and the files and records of the proceeding do not conclusively show that appellant is entitled to no relief. 2. The district court violated Minnesota Statutes section 609.04 (2024) when the court entered convictions on the offenses of first-degree domestic abuse murder and second-degree intentional murder because the court entered a conviction on the greater offense of first-degree premeditated murder. Reversed and remanded.
