State of Minnesota v. Jamie Sara Schmeichel
Syllabus
When a district court instructs a jury in a test refusal case that the State must prove the defendant refused to submit to the test, the district court does not abuse its discretion by denying the defendant's request to also instruct the jury that the State must prove the defendant's actual unwillingness to submit to chemical testing. Affirmed.
