How Tim Walz helped free a man convicted of murdering an 11-year-old girl... who was arrested on drug and gun crimes after his release

never happened
And yet, oddly, it did.

Minnesota Pardons Board grants Myon Burrell a commutation on his life sentence for killing of 11-year-old girl


The Minnesota Board of Pardons, a three-person panel comprising Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Lorie Gildea, voted to commute the sentence of Myon Burrell, a 34-year-old man convicted in the 2002 killing of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards.


Sentenced originally to life in prison with the possibility of parole, Walz proposed a commuted sentence of 20 years, which would release Burrell, who has served 18 years. Burrell will leave prison and serve the remainder of the sentence under supervised release, according to the terms of the commutation.


Burrell’s age, Walz and Ellison said, was a reason to grant him clemency. Burrell was 16 when Edwards was killed by a stray bullet during a gang shooting.

And oddly the details prove the title of the OP is a lie. Well actually its not so odd. You guys do this all the time.

A white off duty cop in Texas killed a black man in his own apartment. She got 10 years for murder. This guy got twice as long. The sentencing, sadly in my view, seems in line; especially for someone who was 16 at the time the crime was committed.

What part of the title is a lie?
