State of Minnesota v. Jeffrey Scott Gunderson

Syllabus

Appellant Jeffrey Scott Gunderson challenges his conviction for threats of violence, arguing that the district court plainly erred by failing to instruct the jury that its verdict had to be unanimous as to the specific threat that Gunderson made when he told a corrections agent that he was planning to commit a school shooting and was \ready to get into a shootout with law enforcement.\ Gunderson also raises additional issues in a pro se supplemental brief. Because Gunderson's threat to commit a school shooting constituted a single threat, and the district court instructed the jury that its verdict had to be unanimous, the district court did not plainly err in its jury instructions. And because Gunderson is not entitled to relief based on the arguments raised in his pro se supplemental brief, we affirm.
