How courts have described this case

  • concluding that the petitioner knew or should have known about his interests-of-justice claim, which stemmed from the district court’s response to a jury question, at the time of trial
  • holding that the postconviction court did not clearly err in finding that the defendant knew or should have known of his jury-instruction claim at trial because the defendant’s counsel objected to the instruction at trial
  • “We have repeatedly declined to apply a subjective standard to the interests-of-justice exception [and] we decline Bolstad’s invitation to adopt a subjective standard to measure the accrual of a claim under the interests-of-justice exception.”
