Amy Klobuchar's call for an independent investigation & review into the case
Leslie Redmond stated, “Today, Senator Amy Klobuchar displayed real leadership by using her power and platform to call for an independent investigation into this case. The acknowledgment that this case warrants a review is the first step to righting the wrongs that were committed against Myon and the victim’s family. As the calls for an independent investigation grow, we expect that Attorney Mike Freeman will have the courage to assure justice and liberty is fairly granted.”
“The call for an independent investigation and review into the case of Myon Burrell by Senator Klobuchar speaks immeasurable volumes to the power and tenaciousness of our Minneapolis NAACP leadership,” said Derrick Johnson, president and CEO, NAACP. “I am encouraged by the show of force from Leslie and others that are moving this case and the predicament of Myon’s future to a better outcome. This case and countless like it speak to the need for this nation to examine its criminal justice system from law enforcement to the courts.”
