Author: Tufte, Jerod E.

Highlight: A party moving for a new trial is limited on appeal to the issues raised in its new trial motion.

A district court considering a new trial motion based on insufficiency of the evidence may set aside a jury verdict when, in considering and weighing all the evidence, the court’s judgment tells it the verdict is wrong because it is manifestly against the weight of the evidence.

State v. Grant 2023 ND 62
Docket No.: 20220279
Filing Date: 3/31/2023
Case Type: Appeal - Criminal - Homicide
Author: Bahr, Douglas Alan

Highlight: A Batson challenge includes a three-step inquiry: (1) A defendant must make a prima facie showing that a peremptory challenge has been exercised on the basis of race; (2) If that showing has been made, the prosecution must offer a race-neutral basis for striking the juror in question; and, (3) In light of the parties’ submissions, the trial court must determine whether the defendant has shown purposeful discrimination.

The burden for showing purposeful discrimination rests upon the opponent of the peremptory strike.

In reviewing challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, the defendant bears the burden of showing the evidence reveals no reasonable inference of guilt when viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict.
