  • An appeal pursuant to section 29-2525 does not place the burden of creating the record upon either party to the appeal. Instead, pursuant to this section, the district court must provide all records required by the Nebraska Supreme Court in order to conduct its review and analysis. State v. Dunster, 262 Neb. 329, 631 N.W.2d 879 (2001).

  • In adopting sections 29-2521.01 to 29-2522, the Legislature intended to establish a procedure whereby the death penalty would be applied uniformly throughout the state. The procedure does not come into play where the death penalty is not imposed. State v. Welsh, 202 Neb. 249, 275 N.W.2d 54 (1979).
