Description
Appellant Andre Francis Hall appeals his conviction for the October 5, 2004, shooting death of Dennis Winfield. A Hennepin County jury found Hall guilty of first-degree murder in violation of Minn. Stat. Γ§ 609.185(a)(1) (2004), second-degree murder in violation of Minn. Stat. Γ§ 609.19, subd. 1(1) (2004), and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm in violation of Minn. Stat. Γ§ 624.713, subds. 1(b), 2(b) (2004). The trial court entered judgment of conviction on first-degree murder and sentenced Hall to the mandatory term of life in prison. Hall raises four claims on appeal: (1) the trial court erred when it gave a jury instruction on transferred intent; (2) the transferred intent instruction constituted an improper constructive amendment of the indictment; (3) the trial court abused its discretion when it denied two motions relating to juror bias; and (4) he was denied the right to a public trial when the trial court imposed a blanket exclusion of children from the courtroom.
