State of Minnesota v. Ibn Marchone Abdullah

Judge: Michael E. Burns
Court: District Court, Hennepin County, Minnesota
Plaintiff's Attorney: Hennepin County Minnesota District Attorney's Office

Description:
Minneapolis, Minnesota second-degree murder criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant.
A Hennepin County jury found Ibn Marchone Abdullah guilty of two counts of second-degree intentional murder based on evidence that he shot and killed his father and his sister. The state's evidence included testimony that Abdullah had confessed to the killings. On appeal, Abdullah argues that the state did not corroborate his confession by introducing other evidence that reasonably tends to prove that he committed the charged crimes. We conclude that the state satisfied its obligation to corroborate Abdullah's confession by presenting evidence independent of the confession that reasonably tends to prove that the specific crimes charged in the complaint actually occurred.
Outcome: Affirmed.
