““ * * * [a]ny arrest made without a warrant, if challenged by the defendant, is presumptively invalid, and the burden is upon the state to justify it as one not only authorized by § 629.34 but also as one not violative of the guarantee of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution against any invasion of privacy except upon a showing of probable cause.” State v. Mastrian, 285 Minn. 51, 56 , 171 N.W.2d 695, 699 (1969), certiorari denied, 397 U.S. 1049 , 90 S.Ct. 1381 , 25 L.Ed.2d 662 (1970).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Merrill“The courts have stated on numerous occasions that a Defendant is entitled to a fair trial, but not a perfect one. Because of human involvement, no criminal proceeding is likely to be completely free of defects, irregularities or errors. Only those of such character as prejudice substantial rights justify granting a new trial.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Roden“A challenge to an individual juror is either peremptory, or for cause. It shall be taken when the juror appears, and before he is sworn; but the court, for good cause, may permit it to be taken after he is sworn, and before the jury is completed.”
