7 Minnesota opinions name it 2 courts 2003–2026 3 in the last five years
The cases below were cited by Minnesota courts in a sentence that names this issue. Sides come from how each citing opinion treated the case (Syfertize flag on that citation), so a case can appear on both: that is where the law is contested. A red or yellow chip is the case's own overall treatment.
| Case | Followed | Cited |
|---|---|---|
State v. Harrisgreen1 sentence2023In State v. Harris, we determined that the district court abused its discretion by not giving the lesser-included instruction on second-degree felony murder. 713 N.W.2d 844, 850 (Minn. 2006). | 1 | 1 |
State v. Guerragreen1 sentence2016Contrary to appellant’s assertion it does not appear that his defense was “keyed” to the force or coercion element, nor did the lesser-included instruction require a “substantially different defense.” Cf. Guerra, 562 N.W.2d at 14 (determining a defendant was prejudiced when his defense was keyed to the charged offense and the constructive amendment required a substantially different offense). | 1 | 1 |

State v. Pflepsen
green
1 sentence2017The supreme court has “long recognized that the ‘conviction’ prohibited by [section 609.04] is not a guilty verdict, but is rather a formal adjudication of guilt.” Pflepsen, 590 N.W.2d at 2 Minnesota Statutes section 609.04 is distinct from section 609.035, which addresses punishment for multiple convictions. | 1 | 2017–2017 |

Counted by distinct opinions that both name this issue and are annotated to the section; sections every opinion cites regardless of issue are not filtered here, so read the counts against the total above.
Opinions by the citing court's state. A doctrine retained in one state and abandoned in another shows up here as a year span that stalls.
