State v. Almengor

YETKA, Justice.

Defendant was found guilty by a district court jury of second-degree (intentional) murder for the 1980 stabbing death of a fellow resident at a transient hotel on Hen-nepin Avenue in Minneapolis, and was sentenced by the trial court to a prison term of 214 months. On this appeal from the judgment of conviction, defendant contends that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish second-degree murder and that the trial court prejudicially erred in admitting evidence of a prior remarkably similar murder of a fellow resident of a transient hotel in Chicago in 1979. We affirm.
