North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Juneau

July 18, 20242024 ND 146

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the burglary conviction and the acquittal for attempted murder, but reversed and remanded the robbery conviction because the jury’s guilty verdict was irreconcilably inconsistent with its special‑verdict findings that the defendant did not use a dangerous weapon. The Court also held that the issue was properly preserved for appeal and that the correct standard of review is whether a verdict is legally inconsistent.
