State of Minnesota v. Patrick Jay Sullivan
Syllabus
1. The district court's reinstatement of the appellant's conviction did not violate the Double Jeopardy Clauses of the Minnesota Constitution and United States Constitution because the reinstatement was not double prosecution or double punishment. 2. When a defendant prevents the State from submitting substantive evidence to satisfy a prior-convictions element for a charged offense, the invited-error doctrine applies, and a court cannot grant relief unless failure to do so would seriously affect the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings. Affirmed.
