Description

Appellant, Vernon Powers, was convicted of two counts of first-degree premeditated murder in violation of Minn. Stat. § 609.185(1) (2000), two counts of second-degree intentional murder in violation of Minn. Stat. § 609.19, subd. 1(1) (2002), two counts of first-degree felony murder in violation of Minn. Stat. § 609.185(3) (2000), two counts of second-degree felony murder in violation of Minn. Stat. § 609.19, subd.á2(1) (2002), one count of first-degree assault in violation of Minn. Stat. § 609.221, subd.á1 (2002), and one count of possession of a pistol by a felon in violation of Minn. Stat. §á624.713, subd. 1(b) (2002). Appellant, in this direct appeal, asks for review on the following grounds: 1) the district court erred by joining appellant with co-defendants for trial and by not issuing a midtrial severance; 2) the district court abused its discretion by not hearing all relevant evidence in a Schwartz hearing into improper contact between a prosecutor and a juror; 3) the prosecutor engaged in prejudicial misconduct during his opening statement and closing argument; 4) the district court erred by conducting several hearings during trial without appellant present; 5) appellant received ineffective assistance of counsel; and 6) selecting a jury with co-defendants denied appellant's right to an impartial jury and adequate voir dire. We affirm.
