YETKA, Justice.
Defendant was charged with feloniously causing the death of one Michael T. Biel in the city of Litchfield, Minnesota, in April 1974. The case was tried before a jury in the Meeker County District Court, where defendant was found guilty of manslaughter in the first degree.
Defendant initially appealed from the judgment of conviction in June 1975. In that first appeal appellant challenged the legal sufficiency of the evidence supporting that verdict and the admissibility of his inculpatory statements given to law-enforcement officials after an illegal arrest.
