Gerald Darius Smith is charged w multiple violent gun felonies. He was supposedly found "incompetent" to stand trial. So @MNCourts RELEASED HIM INTO THE PUBLIC TO CONTINUE VICTIMIZING. Now arrested after fleeing police in a stolen vehicle.

Antwan/won Marlo Davis had about 40 convictions when he was charged with felon in possession/firearm.
His 60-mos sentence was stayed.
NINE DAYS LATER, Davis committed a home invasion robbery & stabbed a man; sentence also stayed.
Probation not revoked on the gun conviction.

Jerome Lee Swanson, 21, of Ham Lake was tossed a Dakota Co plea deal in 2020 dismissing a felony stolen firearm charge & staying a felony auto theft conviction.

Minnesota is totally serious about gun crime.

Chronic offender Guntallwon Brown was convicted in two separate gun cases in two counties in two months.

Slap on the wrist in both cases. Spun out the door.

Probation violations in both cases + new charges, still not revoked.

@MNCourts 57/
Ramsey County plea deal and a downward departure on sentencing leaves Green Line LRT shooter Jacquez Jamarr Green FREE after being charged with attempted murder and 2nd degree assault.

Because Minnesota and @MNCourts are totally serious about gun crime.

Roger J. Wells was convicted in Aug 2021 for the 2nd time in 6 years on felon/possession/gun.
Sentenced to 60 mos.
HOWEVER, sentence was stayed by Judge Reynaldo A. Aligada, Jr.
Wells died in a high-speed traffic crash on Mon.
If @MNCourts had done their job, he’d be alive.

58b/
Roger Wells was also charged in November with four counts related to DWI and driving after revocation.

Yet, he was not probation violated on the gun case even though the terms of his probation prohibited alcohol/drug use and required him to remain law abiding.

Double Fail.

@MNCourts are not serious about gun crime.
Christopher Mark Olson was convicted in Dec 2019 on felon/possess/firearm, but his 60-mos sentence was stayed by Judge Tim D. Wermager.
Today, Olson was charged w felon in possession + drugs after fighting w St. Paul cops on Monday.

@MNCourts 60/
WANTED DOUBLE MURDER SUSPECT Martin Orea was tossed a plea deal on a gun charge in 2017 amending a carry gun violation to misdemeanor illegal transport/gun while hunting... in St. Paul... with a revolver... in April.

@MNCourts and prosecutors are a joke and a farce.

Rolling 30s Bloods gang member Shantaello Leon Christianson was charged with felon in possession of a firearm & 2nd degree riot in 2013.

This is the third time Theng Yang has been charged with felon in possession of a firearm (plus numerous other felonies). It's time for @DMNnews to step in and do the job that @MNCourts refuse to do and charge him as a career criminal.
