TOMLJANOVICH, Justice.

The defendant, Melvin Johns, is a co-defendant of Wayne Thomas Carter. The facts and legal issues are identical in both cases.

Based on our reasoning in the companion case of State v. Carter, 569 N.W.2d 169, 178-179 (Minn.), the decision of the court of appeals is reversed.
