March 27, 20032003 Minn. LEXIS 134

Summary

The Supreme Court of Minnesota affirmed the conviction of Robyn Keith Amos, Sr. The court held that the trial court properly admitted the witness’s prior testimony as a prior inconsistent statement under Minn. R. Evid. 801(d)(1)(A) because the witness’s claimed lack of memory was found to be feigned and the witness was subject to cross‑examination. The decision rested on the discretionary standard of review for evidentiary rulings.
