S-25-0523 State of Nebraska (Appellee) v. Danny R. Robinson, Jr. (Appellant)
Appeal from the District Court for Douglas County, Judge Jeffrey J. Lux
Attorneys: Danny R. Robinson, Jr. (Self-represented Appellant) and Erin E. Tangeman (Nebraska Attorney General’s Office for Appellee)
Criminal: Post-conviction relief
Proceedings Below: Appellant was convicted of first-degree murder, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, and possession of a deadly weapon by a felon. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder conviction which is to be served consecutively to an aggregate sentence of ten (10) to twenty (20) years in prison for the other convictions. See State v. Robinson, 271 Neb. 698 (2006). Appellant filed a motion for post-conviction relief and a motion for new trial, which the district court denied. Life imprisonment cases are direct appeals to the Nebraska Supreme Court.
Issues: Appellant assigns the following error: 1) The district court abused its discretion in dismissing Appellant’s motion for a new trial without conducting an evidentiary hearing.
