Court of Appeals of Minnesota.

July 13, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mike Hatch, Attorney General, and Susan Gaertner, Ramsey County Attorney, Darrell C. Hill, Assistant County Attorney, St. Paul, MN, for respondent.

Theodora K. Gaitas, Assistant State Public Defender, and Rachel F. Bond, Special Assistant State Public Defender, Faegre & Benson LLP, Minneapolis, MN, for appellant.
