Defendant petitioned for postconviction relief after he was convicted of second-degree sale of a controlled substance in a school zone.
The District Court denied petition. Defendant appealed. The Court of Appeals affirmed. Defendant appealed.
The Supreme Court of Minnesota held that:
- Entire area of a city block that is kitty-corner to school property is included in the school zone when the area surrounding school property is organized in a city-block system, and
- Evidence was sufficient to prove the school-zone element of the offense.
