    I told , the AP did not uncover new evidence that exonerates Myon Burrell. “Rather, it exposed how the very evidence that Amy Klobuchar used to convict him was tainted and that her office ignored overwhelming evidence of his innocence.”

    I agree! And many more Myon’s here in Minnesota (and everywhere)

    Northwestern: The witnesses presented against children are often children themselves. The same interrogation tactics that can cause youthful suspects to falsely confess, can also cause youthful witnesses to falsely implicate their peers. (Myon’s eyewitness was 17 and in trouble)

    Innocence a Project; Jailhouse informant testimony is one of the leading contributing factors of wrongful convictions nationally, playing a role in nearly one in five of the 367 DNA-based exoneration cases. (I said 7 snitches used in Myon’s case, but believe there two others)

    Thanks . We in the media are too often sidling up with police, prosecutors, judges and ignoring the accused (and public defenders!!)

    Big shout out to reporters like Robin McDowell for taking the time to listen to the voices of people who've been railroaded by prosecutors (esp those w political ambitions).

    If you are not already following who wrote the brilliant investigative piece into Amy Klobuchar's prosecution of 16-year-old Myon Burrell, you need to be now.

    Worth noting, that while Klobuchar brings up her prosecutor's record over & over again in her campaigning—& she even brags about this specific case in campaign ads—she refused to be interviewed by the AP for this investigation.

    Thanks for helping shine a light on Myon, . He said when he first went to court it dawned on him, it was Literally him against the state.

    A former prosecutor realizing on camera that being a former prosecutor doesn’t guarantee electability anymore. And the whole “a prosecutor’s job is to do justice” slogan is so worn and untrue. Prosecutors are fallible human beings, with the same failings as everyone else.

    It's one reason, makes a compelling case here to end peremptory strikes.

    "Since Batson, eligible Black potential jurors have been struck for stated reasons that border on the absurd: a pierced left ear, a hyphenated last name, or not seeking counseling after their car stereo was stolen." This is the cheat sheet.

    This was very effective, because it really is not very hard to come up with a race-neutral sounding reason for striking someone from a jury.

    North Carolina prosecutors strike Black jurors at twice the rate of White jurors. For years they actually had a “cheat sheet” to use if defense lawyers challenged a peremptory strike that they believed was based on race.

    The North Carolina Supreme Court heard arguments today that prosecutors consistently & deliberately exclude potential Black jurors. In one case, a prosecutor's notes described a potential Black juror as a “blk wino” & a White one as a “country boy - OK.”
