10/31/96 State Minnesota V. Marlow Devette Jones

Any error engendered by the admission of a stipulation summarizing a co-defendant's testimony was harmless. The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it paraphrased the standard jury charge or when it directed the jury to continue deliberating, after the jury indicated it was deadlocked. A pretrial identification procedure was impermissible, but the resulting error was harmless. The evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction.
