Description
In this case we are confronted with numerous issues surrounding the arrest and trial of respondent, Curtis Marcell Smallwood, who was found guilty by a Dakota County jury of first-degree burglary pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 609.582, subd. 1(a) (1998) and sentenced as a dangerous offender to 240 months (20 years) confinement. Smallwood's conviction was reversed and a new trial ordered by the court of appeals on the grounds that the prosecutor committed misconduct in his opening statement when he told the jury that Smallwood had offered to plead guilty to a police officer in exchange for a guidelines sentence. State v. Smallwood, No. C3-97-1636, 1998 WL 404860 (Minn. App. July 21, 1998). We granted the state's petition for further review and now reverse the court of appeals.
