Question Presented (from Petition)

(1)Article from Summer 2016 issue in Cure-Sort News Vol. 25, Issue 3 under heading, Letters From Across the Nation, which are damaging. Info found at www.cure-sort.org on Mr. Farnsworth, Mr. Odell's leading expert. Can all letters be looked into?

(1) In this article from Letters From Across the Nation, which are damaging letters across the U.S.A., from Mr. Odell's state expert Mr. Farnsworth who persuaded the courts against Mr. Odell, who in this article, in light of all the evidence Minnesota Courts need to be questioned now from 2016 news?

(2) As well as Mr. Odell's public defenders. Mr. Farnsworth violates his clients Constitutional Rights of the State and Federal and Minnesota gets away with this and protects him according to this article.

(3) In Mr. Odell's earlier 7pg. Petition for Post-Conviction Relief started in 2017-2018 in the "Interest-of-Justice" exception on this 2016 article on 590.01, subd. 4(b) (5)'s (2008). Why was it time-barred, when Mr. Odell started his post-conviction claim on this in 201,7?

(4) Now in the U.S. Supreme Court in Gassler v.,State 787 (4)(b) (2008), provides that if a petitioner can satisfy any of the five exceptions the time bar does not apply. Now Mr. Odell would like to use any Federal case laws and decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court to proceed?

(5) Mr. Odell's latest A 19-0059, on why Judge Lillehaug with all due respect brought up Mr. Odell upon newly discovered evidence (rules) may not be brought up for impeachment purposes on Minn. Stat. 590.1, subd. 4(b)(2)?

1.) Mr. Odell never brought up newly discovered evidence standard or

2.) Impeachment in any of his appeal work ever!: .. :

(6) Also in Gassler v. State 787even though the trial court could consider the "Interest-of-Justice" exception without establishment of newly discovered evidence. Mr. Odell would like to use any Federal case law and decisions from the Supreme Court to proceed?

(7) In Gassler v. State 787, The post-conviction cöurt erred when it failed to consider whether Minn. Stat. § 590.01, subd.4 (b) (5)'s (2008)"Interests-ofJustice" exception to the statutory time bar permitted appellant's postconviction to be heard. Federal Ruling now?

(8) Bryan Leary who was part of Mr. Odell's defense counsel at sentencing was recently in the Minneapolis Star & Tribune paper for a client Nathan Lehman and Bryan Leary took a "straight plea" for 61 years instead of prosecutions 41 year "plea" deal. Client was civilly committed 2 weeks prior.

(6)Why Nathan Lehman could represent himself without taking a prosecution "plea deal" of 41 yrs. and self incriminates himself for 61 yrs. And yet prosecution knew that Nathan Lehman was Civilly Committed Mentally Ill just 2 weeks before this crime and thus gave him a "plea deal" for 41

Question Presented (AI Summary)
