Supreme Court of Minnesota
Joel Marvin Munt v. State of Minnesota
November 21, 2018920 N.W.2d 410
Summary
The court affirmed denial of Munt’s motion to correct his sentences under Rule 27.03, subdivision 9. It held that claims under sections 611.02 and 609.04 challenge convictions rather than sentences and were therefore outside Rule 27.03 and time-barred under the postconviction statute, while his section 609.035 claims properly concerned sentencing but failed because the offenses involved different criminal objectives. The court also held that interpreting section 609.035 to permit separate punishment for crimes against multiple victims did not violate separation of powers.
