Description
Appellant Areece Manley was indicted by a Ramsey County grand jury and subsequently convicted by a Ramsey County jury of first-degree murder in violation of Minn. Stat. § 609.185(a)(6) (2002), Minnesota's domestic abuse murder statute, and second-degree intentional murder in violation of Minn. Stat. §Ã¡609.19, subd. 1(1) (2002), for the November 5, 2000, death of his girlfriend, Latisha Froysland. At sentencing, the trial court sentenced Manley to prison "for the remainder of [his] life." In this direct appeal, Manley, through his appellate counsel, raises a number of issues. First, he asserts, relying on Richardson v. United States, 526 U.S. 813 (1999), that he is entitled to a new trial because the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt each predicate act comprising a "past pattern" of domestic abuse. Next, he asserts that the trial court erred when it failed to provide, sua sponte, a cautionary instruction with respect to how evidence related to Manley's past pattern of domestic abuse could be used with respect to the second-degree murder charge. In addition, he asserts that he was deprived of a fair trial due to three evidentiary rulings by the trial court. He also asks this court to review sealed files examined by the trial court in camera to insure that all exculpatory evidence contained within those files was made available to him*fn1 and to clarify his sentence.*fn2 Finally, Manley raises a number of issues pro se. We affirm.
