Description
A Hennepin County jury found Tony M. Caine guilty of first-degree intentional felony murder, second-degree intentional murder, and second-degree unintentional felony murder for the death of Brandon Lynch. The Hennepin County District Court convicted Caine of first-degree intentional murder. Caine appeals on five grounds. First, Caine argues that the district court committed numerous errors when it admitted an alleged accomplice?s guilty plea transcript under Minn. R. Evid. 801(d)(1)(A). Second, Caine claims that there was insufficient evidence for the jury to find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he was not under duress when he killed Lynch. Third, Caine argues that the court erred when it failed to instruct the jury that the State has the burden of disproving duress beyond a reasonable doubt. Fourth, Caine claims the court erred when it denied his request for a jury instruction on first-degree manslaughter under Minn. Stat. § 609.20(3) (2006). Finally, Caine claims that several acts of prosecutorial misconduct prejudiced him and that this misconduct warrants a new trial. We affirm.
