concluding that a videotaped statement “was not particularly persuasive evidence with respect to [the defendant’s] credibility because it was cumulative of other overwhelming evidence of her lack of truthfulness”
stating that an appellate court reviews the district court’s factual findings for clear error
explaining that Minnesota has adopted the “fact-specific inquiry” announced in Brown v. Illinois, 422 U.S. 590 (1975), to determine whether “the taint of an illegal arrest is sufficiently attenuated” to permit admission of verbal evidence obtained after an unlawful arrest
“Improperly admitted evidence is harmless . . . when the evidence is cumulative or there is other extensive evidence connecting the defendant to the commission of the crime.” (quotation omitted)
