Thomas Robert Tichich v. State of Minnesota

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of postconviction relief. It held that a new expert opinion that merely conflicts with trial testimony is newly discovered evidence, not proof of false testimony, and that the evidence did not satisfy the governing newly discovered-evidence test. It also held that guilty verdicts for completed and attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct are legally consistent, so counsel was not ineffective for failing to challenge them.
