Attorney Misconduct And Evidence

Summary

Attorneys in Minnesota must share all relevant evidence with clients. Failure to do so may be misconduct. Misconduct by a public defender could lead to case dismissal, depending on severity and impact. Possession of burglary tools, like a magnet, can lead to charges if intent is proven. In State v. Cook (1991), the court ruled in favor of the defendant due to lack of intent evidence.
