First, we speak with Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County Attorney. Hennepin County's most known city is Minneapolis. Then, we're joined by Melina Abdullah, a professor and the chair of pan-African studies at Cal State Los Angeles, as well as the co-founder of the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter and co-founder of Black Lives Matter Grassroots.

Why is more attention not being paid to the fact it was a botched traffic stop? Is Governor Walz doing anything to ensure the state police receive proper training?

There's a young girl from Minneapolis who remains in critical condition Tuesday after being shot over the weekend along with three other children. The minors in question are between the ages of 11 and 13 and were shot while joyriding in a stolen car. The case renews the question about what to do when kids that young are committing serious crimes. The Hennepin County Attorney's Office wants police to refer cases to their office, and says that when there isn't enough evidence to charge, the child could instead be referred to their Youth Auto Theft Early Intervention Initiative. But Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says he wants to see those kids arrested and charged.The specifics of this case are unclear, due to privacy laws for children in the juvenile system. But it has renewed an argument between agencies about the best approach to stopping kids from committing serious crimes. To explain, two people from the organization Restorative Justice Community Action, which provides services to youth who have committed crimes in Hennepin and Ramsey counties, joined Minnesota Now. Cynthia Prosek is their executive director and Kara Beckman is University of Minnesota Researcher who works with the organization.

Minnesota Man Sentenced to 23.75 Years for Brutal Murder of Girlfriend

A 40-year-old Minnesota man, Matthew Scott Brenneman, has been sentenced to nearly 24 years in prison for the brutal murder of his girlfriend, Danicka M. Bergeson, just days after being released from jail for previous assaults against her. Brenneman pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on Monday, with the Hennepin County Prosecutor's Office agreeing to drop first-degree murder charges in exchange. Brenneman admitted to two aggravating factors: killing Bergeson in a "zone of privacy" and treating her with "particular cruelty" by leaving her body to decompose. The sentence means Brenneman will likely serve just over 15 years in a state correctional facility. Under the plea agreement's terms, Brenneman would serve 23.75 years in a state correctional facility. Individuals convicted of felonies in Minnesota typically serve two-thirds of their sentence, which in this case would be just over 15 years. The Hennepin County Attorney, Mary Moriarty, emphasized the need for aggressive prosecution of domestic violence cases to ensure the safety of victims and survivors. “We were hoping for a plea with a much stronger sentence, you know, upwards, closer to the 30. But maybe some play in there. But, you know, we certainly thought that we could get stronger sentencing,” she said. “There's frustration with the way the system works. I mean, even if you're charged with first-degree murder, you only serve two-thirds of that, which is 20 years. And that in and of itself is a painful revelation.” Brenneman had only been released from jail on June 27, 2023, after pleading guilty to attacking Bergeson in April and May, when he punched, bit, and choked her in their home — and threatened to kill her. Under his guilty plea in that case, prosecutors agreed “to no additional time” in jail if Brenneman did not violate a no-contact order — but two days later, according to cell phone records, he was near their apartment. On July 8, 2023, officers from the Hopkins Police Department were called to an apartment complex after a downstairs neighbor reported yelling and banging from the unit above. Upon entering the apartment, police found Brenneman in the bathroom, where they detected a strong smell of bleach; he had ingested it in a suicide attempt. He was subsequently arrested at the scene. Bergeson was discovered lying in her bed, wrapped in blankets and a plastic garbage bag, with numerous abrasions and bruises. Authorities believe she had been dead for at least a day. Investigators also recovered a series of notes that were written by Brenneman, including an apology and what appeared to be a confession. Bergeson's family expressed frustration with the sentencing, hoping for a longer term. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Londregan pleaded not guilty to murder and assault charges last month.Moriarty explained the choice to drop charges in a press conference Monday morning.

The Minneapolis Police Department and the Hennepin County Attorney's office are trying to crack down on juvenile car thefts. But they seem to be disagreeing on how to go about it. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty presented the latest findings on youth auto thefts to a city council committee on Wednesday. Moriarty says her office's youth auto theft diversion program is working, but it can only do so much. In order for juveniles to be required to utilize the resources the attorney's office provides, they need to be charged with the crime. However, there's a big gap between reported auto thefts and cases being charged. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about it.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.

In an episode recorded the week before Thanksgiving, we look deeper on a topic that will never get old: Katie Cashman's amazing, unbelievable, nobody-saw-it-coming progressive victory in the Minneapolis Ward 7 City Council race. Chaz Mayo worked back to back (2021 and 2023) on the campaigns of two different progressive candidates in Ward 7. We talk about the landscape and recent political history; what made 2023 a breakthrough year; what Chaz saw in the 2022 race for Hennepin County Attorney that foreshadowed 2023; how Ward 7 almost didn't have a progressive candidate, even in a year with an open seat due to the retirement of 26-year incumbent juggernaut Lisa Goodman; how remarkable it is that in Ward 7, friendly territory for the All of Mpls/Chamber of Commerce alliance, they still couldn't field a decent candidate. We close the episode getting to know the real Chaz, who studied writing and directing in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Chaz lost touch with his art due to the covid-19 pandemic, but come 2024 will be putting on a big "dream-like" production of Hamlet.
