State v. Landrus

Citations

  • 974 N.W.2d 676
  • 2022 ND 107

Syllabus

This Court may consider an obvious error that affects substantial rights. Jury instructions must correctly and adequately inform the jury of the applicable law. Instructing the jury on the wrong subdivision of law is a plain error. Sustaining a conviction based on jury instructions that do not require findings on every essential element of the charged crime violates due process.

Judges: Crothers, Daniel John
