"Prosecutors to consider race in plea deals under new policy written by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty


At least one constitutional law professor believes the policy could be unconstitutional, even if it was written with deliberate ambiguity to avoid those issues.



MINNEAPOLIS — Starting Monday, prosecutors in Hennepin County will be required to consider race when offering plea deals, according to a new policy from County Attorney Mary Moriarty.

A constitutional law professor warns the policy could be deemed unconstitutional if challenged in court, even if Moriarty's office intentionally crafted the policy to avoid those legal issues.


KARE 11 News reporter Lou Raguse received a copy of the policy from sources inside Moriarty's office after it began being distributed this week. The document entitled "Negotiations Policy for Cases Involving Adult Defendants" lays out several considerations for prosecutors to take as they negotiate and offer resolutions to criminal defendants in the form of plea deals, including the race and age of the defendant.

"While racial identity and age are not appropriate grounds for departures [from the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines], proposed resolutions should consider the person charged as a whole person, including their racial identity and age. While these factors should not be controlling, they should be part of the overall analysis. Racial disparities harm our community, lead to distrust, and have a negative impact on community safety. Prosecutors should be identifying and addressing racial disparities at decision points, as appropriate," one section of the policy states."

"While racial identity and age are not appropriate grounds for departures [from the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines],

Libtard admits the law.

proposed resolutions should consider the person charged as a whole person, including their racial identity and age.

Libtard states policy of breaking the law. Using slightly different wording.

While these factors should not be controlling, they should be part of the overall analysis. Racial disparities harm our community, lead to distrust, and have a negative impact on community safety. Prosecutors should be identifying and addressing racial disparities at decision points, as appropriate," one section of the policy states."

Libtard uses weasel words to talk shit to try to justify breaking the law.




We can't allow libs in any positions of authority. The moment they have any power, they start doing insane and harmful libtard shit.

It's just MN telling CA....Hold my beer and watch this!

I figure NY (and other blue states) won't want to be one-upped.
