Did Amy Klobuchar Send an Innocent Teenager to Life in Prison? Questions Mount over Her Record as DA

After a surprising third-place finish in the New Hampshire primary, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is attempting to gain ground in the national polls. But Klobuchar is also facing mounting scrutiny over her record as a district attorney in Minnesota. The Minneapolis NAACP, Black Lives Matter Twin Cities and other racial justice groups recently called on Klobuchar to suspend her presidential campaign following a shocking investigation by the Associated Press. The AP report centered on the case of Myon Burrell, an African-American teenager who was sentenced to life in prison over the 2002 murder of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards. Klobuchar led the case against Myon Burrell when she was Hennepin County’s district attorney, but the AP report says she may have mishandled the case and that Burrell could be innocent. The Associated Press report shows how prosecutors had no DNA or fingerprints tying Burrell to the murder and that they relied on jailhouse informants, some of whom have since recanted their testimonies. Burrell has always maintained his innocence. On the campaign trail, Klobuchar has cited the jailing of Burrell as one of her achievements and brought up the conviction during a debate in September. We speak with Nekima Levy Armstrong, civil rights attorney, activist, head of the Racial Justice Network and former president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP. “It’s shocking at this point that Amy Klobuchar is still in the race for president of the United States, given the significance of Myon Burrell’s case,” she says.

As you say that, what your not understanding Is when your done wrong in your city you must reach you states supreme court before you can ever get to the federal supreme court to make it applicable to all people in America. A state's supreme court's ruling on your side makes it applicable to the folks in your state only. And you cant move forward, it stops there. But if you challenge is with SCOTUS, and they take up your case...if they rule in your favor it becomes applicable to everyone in the country.

[@xyzsame4081]

throwing staplers at her staff, and even binders. - Now Sanders is known as a very hard worker and demands the same of his team, and I can even envision him getting loud at times * with them - but not _that._ It seems those jobs as staff for Senators and members of congress are hard overall. And Klobuchar has one of the worst records (and also the highest overturn rate for staff. Plus the reputation of trying to spoil it if a staffers dares to leave and finds or tries to find another job with another lawmaker). * When he got in as mayor in 1980 or 1981, he unseated a long time incumbent that was a big whig in the VT Democratic party, and it was quite an upset. The buddies of the fmr mayor among the aldermen stonewalled the new mayor, and they could do it, he had only support of 2 or 3 and that was not even veto power. First thing they fired the secretary of the mayor. Rumour has it that loud voices could be heard from citihall at that time. After the death of John McCain Sanders was asked for a comment in an interview. I do not think they were close but he brought up of course the VA bill. "We knew we had to do something, his ideas how to fix things very much differed from mine, but we found a compromise. It got loud sometimes, I have a temper, he had a temper - but we got it done. Methinks he is not all that mild mannered, but he cares and has enough edge and stubborness in him to prevail. Might not be an easy boss to work for - but manhandling staff ?? As for obstinate, self-serving aldermen: the citzens of Burlington watched the shenanigangs, Sanders did what he could (first budget done on the kitchen table with help of volunteers), and continued to communicate with the population. They vote every 2 years (I guess alternating with mayoral races), so the voters gave him a few more cooperative aldermen next election and not too long after he took office. Then he had at least veto power, plus Sanders started to work with Republicans on a case to case base.

@@rehan3600 Well, I kind of have to agree at least a little with lemurian chick. Stuff like that happens to white people, too.

If he was rich, out of a family with good connections and had the best attorney money could buy there would've been no way for this to happen.
