Description
Jon E. Quick was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder for the killing of Justin Mueller and sentenced to life in prison. State v. Quick, 659 N.W.2d 701 (Minn. 2003). The facts underlying Quicks conviction can be found in our decision on Quicks direct appeal. Id. In that appeal, Quick raised a number of claims, including ineffective assistance of counsel based on his counsels failure to obtain all necessary documents and failure to pursue a medical defense. Id. at 717. We denied Quicks claims and affirmed his conviction. Id. Quick subsequently brought a petition for post-conviction relief, claiming the following as newly discovered evidence: (1) recently attained evidence proving his attendance at a parenting class on the evening of the murder that corroborated his testimony as to his whereabouts that evening; (2) documentation showing his fluctuating blood sugar levels the day of the murder; and (3) evidence of his upbringing in a religious sect. With respect to items one and two, Quick argues that the evidence supports a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on his counsels failure to pursue all necessary documents and a medical defense. With respect to item number three, he claims that the religious sect evidence is a mitigating factor for the charge of first-degree premeditated murder. The post-conviction court summarily denied the petition. We affirm.
