Description
Defendant was convicted of first-degree murder in a jury trial in Hennepin County District Court. Defendant appeals to this court, claiming (1) evidence adduced at trial was insufficient as a matter of law to sustain his conviction; (2) evidence of defendants alcohol consumption established his incapacity to premeditate or form the requisite intent; (3) the evidence established as a matter of law the homicide was committed in self-defense or in the heat of passion; (4) admission of the videotaped interview defendant gave police was an abuse of discretion; (5) the trial courts refusal to admit certain evidence offered by the defendant unconstitutionally denied him the opportunity to present a defense; and (6) defendants right to effective assistance of counsel was denied because the public defender failed to zealously defend him. We affirm.
