Supreme Court of Minnesota
Adrian Dominic Riley, A/k/a Amiri Abdul Rasheed-El v. State of Minnesota
August 15, 20122012 Minn. LEXIS 399
Summary
The court affirmed the summary denial of Riley's second postconviction petition and his request for additional fingerprint and forensic DNA testing. It held that the petition was untimely and did not satisfy either the newly discovered evidence or interests-of-justice exceptions, while the alleged confession evidence also failed because it was inadmissible hearsay lacking corroboration and did not clearly and convincingly establish actual innocence. The court further held that Riley did not meet the statutory prerequisites for additional forensic testing.
