Significant Cases
A Sampling of Recent Cases Handled by the Calvin Johnson Law Firm, LLC
2013
State vs P.S. (2013) -Client Moved to dismiss a Domestic Assault on the basis that there was no probable cause for the charge. In careful analysis, the Court agreed. The record established that client “pushed” the alleged victim in such a manner that she did not fall, nor sustain bodily injury. Following the “push,” the alleged victim did not appear upset. The Court went on to state, “Without knowing more about the circumstances surrounding Defendant’s physical contact with (alleged victim), the Court is left to speculate that the contact may have been wholly incidental and inoffensive.” Therefore, the Court concluded that there was insufficient evidence to establish that defendant intended to cause (to the alleged victim) fear of immediate bodily harm or death by the “push.”
State vs G.A. (2013) - Client received a Stay of Adjudication for drug charges, on a second time around, due to the unique circumstances of his file. A Stay of Adjudication is not normally allowed for a person’s second time being charged with a felony level drug offense. Both cases involved felonies.
2012
State vs M.T. (2012) - Driving After Cancellation – Client was pulled over for speeding, and arrested for driving without a valid license. As a result, the State issued an order for license plate impoundment (i.e.: “Whiskey Plates”). Through case investigation by our office, we discoverd that the “computer generated” cancellation of client’s license by the State of Minnesota was not authorized, under the law. Consequently, the Gross Misdemeanor charge of Driving After Cancellation was dismissed by the County Attorney in the interest of justice, without the necessity of any court hearings. Further, client’s license was fully reinstated, the regular license plates were returned, with fees refunded.
State vs D.A. (2012) - Client was ordered to serve 8 days county jail, despite the fact that he had been charged with Assault in the 2nd Degree, for the accusation of threatening the alleged victim with a shotgun. The gun charge was dismissed, and client pleaded guilty with an Alford plea, to a lesser charge. Significantly, the case had mandated a prison sentence, which was not necessary given the disposition. The client received a Stay of Imposition of Sentence, making the Felony a Misdemeanor, upon successful completion of probation. Client’s success was made possible through considerable efforts to maintain his sobriety, and providing adequate verification to the Court.
State vs M.J. (2012) - Driving After Cancellation/Hit and Run- Client comes in with an alibi. He was home, with witnesses, when he was accused of driving a vehicle, causing an accident, and leaving the scene. Our office initiated a case investigation, and referred our reports over to the police department. Upon further investigation, client was exonerated, and the State dismissed the complaint without the necessity of a hearing or court trial.
State vs W.J. (2012) - Felony Drugs/Illegal Possession of a Firearm- Motion was made to dismiss the charge of possession of illegal weapon, based upon lack of constructive possession. The Court granted a motion in pre-trial proceedings. As a result, the mandatory prison sentence was not applicable.
State vs D.L. (2012) - Felony Drugs- Client was charged with one count of 5th Degree Sale. Client received a Stay of Adjudication, no jail, and a fine.
Client works and resides outside of Minnesota. Negotiations with State resulted in no probation. Court supervision of client until fine paid.
State vs L.C. (2012) - Felony Assault Dismissed- Client was charged with two Counts of Felony Domestic Assault. The State dismissed the charges, prior to the Omnibus hearing, without the necessity of any court appearance.
State vs S.N. (2012) - Client was charged with a barroom brawl that resulted in a cut in the alleged victim’s face, requiring eight stitches. Client pleaded guilty to a Disorderly Conduct, as a petty misdemeanor, with no jail.
Client utilized self-defense as the main defense for his case. Self-defense encompasses the “justifiable use of force.”
2011
State vs G.P. (2011) - 2nd Degree DWI Reduced- Client pleaded guilty to Careless Driving, reduced from two counts of DWI - 2nd Degree. In exchange, client agreed to not contest the revocation of his driving privileges.
State vs K.J. (2011) - First charge DWI. Client was allowed to plead guilty to Careless Driving on a .13 breath test. Client dismissed Implied Consent Petition.
State vs J.T. (2011) - DWI Second Degree, with two priors, and children in the motor vehicle. Client plead guilty to DWI-Third Degree.
Ignition Interlock imposed as a condition of probation instead of the mandatory minimum jail term. (90 days was presumed to be the mandatory minimum under the original charges.) Client invested significantly in issues of sobriety.
State vs C.T. (2011) - Client was charged with four counts of Violation of OFP.
Client was allowed to tender a plea to one count, and receive a stay of adjudication. As a consequent, the other count was dismissed in Blue Earth County. As a further consequence, the other two counts in Faribault County were continued for dismissal.
Consequently, the client will end up with nothing on client’s record, once probation is successfully completed.
State vs L.C. (2011) - The State dismissed charge of Refusal, a Gross Misdemeanor DWI, on the basis that “credibility issues with witness makes it difficult to proceed with charges.” In reality, the officer came upon the motor vehicle with the witness behind the driver’s seat. The defendant, accused, had called 911, asking for assistance, because the “witness” had assaulted the defendant. The officer believed that he could ask for a test from the defendant, based upon the officer’s observation that the seat in the motor vehicle was back too far for the witness to have driven it. However, there was no other evidence that the defendant had ever driven the vehicle. Interesting enough, the defendant was not charged with actual driving. He was only charged with refusing a test based upon the officer’s probable cause to believe that he was driving.
W.J. vs 2003 GMC Envoy (2011) - Client’s motor vehicle was confiscated on the basis of an allegation of a prior implied consent or DWI conviction. However, because both prior matters were pending, with no resolution, the charges of DWI in the 2nd Degree were dismissed. As a result, the prosecutor voluntarily returned the client’s motor vehicle, without the necessity of a formal court hearing.
With the July 1, 2011 law change involving Ignition Interlock, charged with a first time DWI, alcohol concentration over .16, client faced a 1 year driver’s license revocation, and been required to place ignition interlock in their motor vehicle. Significantly, client was certified as being in violation of the implied consent law prior to July 1, the date that the law changed. Consequently, the Commissioner of Public Safety administratively adjusted the length of client’s implied consent revocation, from 365 to 180 days, with eligibility to obtain a limited driver’s license after 30 days. In exchange, client agreed to waive the implied consent hearing.
State vs. H.B. (2011) - Defendant brought motion to dismiss and suppress the medical opinion of the police officer, on the basis that the officer was not qualified to discuss medication, the affects of medication, when the medication was administered, and any potential opinion as to the results of prescribed medication. The prosecuting authority dismissed the DWI prior to Contested Pre-Trial hearing. Client did admit to an Open Bottle.
State vs. E.K. (2011) - Client accused of slugging alleged victim, and throwing hard object at another person. Matter was successfully diverted. Client received a Diversion, with nothing on client's record. Client's prospective career depended upon successful resolution of the criminal charges.

State vs. M.H. (2011) - Charges Dismissed- Felony Theft charges were dismissed by the district court as evidence obtained was "fruit of the poisonous tree," and therefore inadmissible at trial. A warrantless search justified dismissal of the case, due to lake of probable cause. The police over stepped their authority, and the police misconduct was the basis to suppress evidence sized without a search warrant.

A Sampling of Various Cases Handled at the Trial Level by Attorney Calvin Johnson
State v. Cripps
Defendant was seized, within the meaning of Article I, Section 10 of the Minnesota Constitution, when an armed and uniformed police officer approached defendant in a bar and asked to see identification for proof of legal age to consume alcohol. Officer did not articulate sufficient individualized suspicion of criminal activity to justify seizure when officer failed to articulate why particular defendant was asked to produce identification.
Schmidt v. Schmidt
Regarding the court’s assertion of jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, Minn. Stat. § 518A.03, Subd. 1, and ordering return of the child to Minnesota and into the custody of the respondent.
State v. Boyd
In a prosecution for criminal sexual conduct in the third degree, scientific evidence that the defendant was the father of a baby subsequently born to the victim was admissible to prove that sexual penetration occurred provided, however, that the expert evidence could not take the form of statistical evidence suggesting, by quantification, satisfaction of the requirement that guilt be established beyond a reasonable doubt.
Horner v. Horner
The trial court improperly relied on only one factor in the statutory child custody guidelines and did not make sufficient findings to assure that fault in seeking marital dissolution did not influence its custody award. Religious affiliation, alone, does not justify award of custody.
State v. Saldana
Admission of expert testimony concerning typical post-rape symptoms and behavior of rape victims, and expert’s opinion that complaining witness was victim of rape and had not fantasized rape was reversible error. This was the first case in Watonwan County utilizing an interpreter for trial.
State v. Zuehlke
Evidence failed to support finding that defendant, who was arrested after discovery of beer in automobile in which he was an occupant along with minors, bought the beer partly for consumption outside the car and that some of it was consumed outside the car, and therefore State failed to meet its burden of establishing that the offenses of open bottle and furnishing liquor to person under age 19 were not part of a single behavioral incident; as a result, conviction of open bottle offense barred later prosecution of defendant on furnishing charge.
State v. Dahl
The record that demonstrates: (a) Dahl filled out a standard time sheet with his request for overtime compensation; (b) his supervisor approved the time sheet; and (c) Dahl’s labor contract with the county provided a minimum of two hours’ compensation for even one minute of overtime work, could not sustain a conviction under Minn.Stat. §609.45.
State v. Jahnke
Cumulative effects of errors occurring during trial constituted denial of right to fair trial, such errors included extensive inquiry into details surrounding an arson investigation, inquiry into fact that defendant mother had been sexually abused as a child, questioning suggesting inference to the jurors that defendant mother had been given polygraph test and had failed it, and elicitation of testimony of pictures of defendant husband’s preferred sexual practice.
State v. Saunders
The statute was not unconstitutionally vague as applied to claim involving farmer who offered to cure cancer with milk from cow injected with ill person’s blood.
