In 2002, a Black man named Myon Burrell was convicted of murdering an 11yo girl. Despite the accounts of many, including someone claiming to be actual shooter, he sits in jail, proclaiming his innocence. No evidence points to him. Klobuchar prosecuted him. https://twitter.com/amyklobuchar/status/1265286358551191558
Reports proclaim the case against Burrell focused mostly on the account of a rival, who changed his story a few times.

Quote from Ike Tyson, the man claiming to be the shooter.
“I already shot an innocent girl,” said Tyson, who is serving a 45-year sentence. “Now an innocent guy -- at the time he was a kid -- is locked up for something he didn’t do. So, it’s like I’m carrying two burdens.”

No DNA, no weapon. Witnesses say Burrell was not at the scene.
If this was so open and shut, why this? I don't doubt Senator Klobuchar feels for Mr. Floyd, the man killed in police custody. But, where was this energy in 2002? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.twincities.com/2020/03/05/klobuchar-calls-for-independent-review-in-myon-burrell-murder-conviction/amp/
