Minnesota SF2826 allows convicted individuals to petition for relief from a stay of adjudication.
Minnesota SF2826 amends the state's procedural law to permit convicted individuals or those with a stay of adjudication to petition the court for relief. The petition can be filed if the petitioner claims a violation of their rights under the Constitution or laws, or if scientific evidence establishes their actual innocence. The court may grant relief if the petitioner proves the petition is not frivolous and is in the interests of justice. The petition must be filed within two years of the conviction or stay of adjudication.
