State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Mark Steinbach, Defendant and Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed Steinbach’s convictions for murder, physical obstruction of a government function, and tampering with physical evidence, as well as the denial of his motion for a new trial. It held that the trial court properly admitted the photograph and expert testimony, that substantial evidence supported the convictions, that the newly discovered impeachment evidence did not warrant a new trial, and that the sentencing court did not substantially rely on an impermissible factor. No separate opinions were filed.
