State of Minnesota v. Camille Lashay Dennis-Bond

Syllabus

In this direct appeal from a judgment of conviction for third-degree murder, criminal vehicular homicide, criminal vehicular operation, and careless driving, appellant argues that she is entitled to a new trial because the district court erred when it rejected her Batson challenge. In the alternative, appellant argues that her convictions of third-degree murder, criminal vehicular homicide, and criminal vehicular operation should be reversed because the evidence at trial was insufficient. Appellant also argues that the district court abused its discretion by denying her motion for a downward dispositional or durational departure. We affirm.
