Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court remanded this criminal case to the court of appeals for a decision on the merits, holding that the State can appeal the dismissal of the charges against Defendant under Minn. R. Crim. P. 28.04, subdivision 1(1).
After the State charged Defendant with second-degree criminal sexual conduct he filed a motion to dismiss for lack of probable cause. The district court granted the motion and dismissed the complaint. The State appealed. The court of appeals dismissed the appeal, concluding that the district court's order was not appealable under Minn. R. Crim. P. 28.04. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded the case for the merits, holding that the district court's order was appealable because the dismissal was not premised solely on a factual determination.
