Minnesota Supreme Court orders a new trial for Michael Allan Carbo Jr., convicted for 1986 murder, due to district court's abuse of discretion.

The Minnesota Supreme Court has ordered a new trial for Michael Allan Carbo Jr., who was convicted in 2022 for the 1986 murder of Nancy Daugherty in Chisholm, Minnesota. The court questioned the conviction during oral arguments and ruled that the district court abused its discretion by denying the motion to present alternative-perpetrator evidence. The decision allows Carbo to potentially introduce new evidence in support of his defense, despite DNA evidence linking him to the crime.
