Description
Appeal from a judgment of conviction of the crime of manslaughter in the first degree and from an order of the district court
denying defendant's motion for judgment of acquittal notwithstanding the verdict or for a new trial. On December 26, 1966, shortly before 3 a.m., the lifeless body of Nancy Mitchell, bruised and apparently beaten about the
head, was discovered amid smoke and flames on the living room floor of the Mitchell home in south Minneapolis. Firemen who
had responded to an alarm initiated by defendant, Dr. John R. Mitchell, notified the police. The detectives assigned to the
case interviewed Mitchell at about 4 a.m. at Hennepin County General Hospital where he had been taken by ambulance for relief
from the effects of smoke inhalation. On the following day a complaint was filed charging Mitchell with having killed his
wife. At the preliminary appearance in the Municipal Court of Hennepin County on December 28, the date of January 12, 1967,
was fixed as the time for a preliminary hearing. This preliminary hearing was never held because the grand jury of Hennepin
County, on January 10, 1967, returned an indictment charging defendant with murder in the first degree. An arrest warrant
was issued by the clerk of Municipal Court of Hennepin County and was executed January 11. But for the indictment, no attempt
was made to establish judicially probable cause for this arrest.
