Listen to this article

Luis Vasquez appeals from the judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of one count of first-degree intentional homicide, while using a dangerous weapon, as a party to the crime, and one count of second-degree intentional homicide, while using a dangerous weapon, as a party to the crime. He also appeals from the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues that the postconviction court erroneously exercised discretion in denying his motion for a new trial, based on newly discovered evidence, without holding an evidentiary hearing. He also argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion for a mistrial, based on comments of the prosecutor in closing argument.

We affirm.
