Deshaun Hill killing: Cody Fohrenkam's murder conviction thrown out

The man convicted of murdering standout Minneapolis North student-athlete Deshaun Hill Jr will likely get a new trial, according to a ruling from the Minnesota Court of Appeals.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals reversed the conviction for Cody Fohrenkam, citing in part that the prosecutors "committed prejudicial misconduct during arguments" and that the state failed to show Forhenkam’s statements were lawfully obtained.

In the appeal, Fohrenkam, argued incriminating statements were made while he was unconstitutionally detained for a custodial interrogation.

The state says Fohrenkam’s post-release detention was "merely the result of an administrative delay associated with standard release procedures".
