@AP Myon Burrell has always maintained his innocence and refused plea deals. The case against him was wrapped up by police in just 4 days. There was no physical evidence linking him to the crime and prosecutors relied on the testimony of a jailhouse informant.
@AP Now, the victim's stepfather, Leonard Winborn, has come forward to express concern that Myon Burrell might be innocent, and also that Tyesha’s death is being used by Klobuchar and others for political capital. minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/01/29/ste…
@AP The news has led Minneapolis NAACP, Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, and other civil rights organizations to call on Klobuchar to suspend her presidential campaign. minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/01/29/klo…
