State of Minnesota v. Antionette Rie Johnson

Summary

The court affirmed Johnson’s convictions for first-degree murder and second-degree murder as an aider and abettor. It assumed without deciding that her statement to police was obtained unlawfully, that the no-adverse-inference instruction was plain error, and that the prosecutor’s closing argument improperly alluded to her failure to testify, but held that none of these alleged errors warranted relief because the evidence of guilt was strong and the errors were not prejudicial.
