Meet three AWFL (Affluent, white, female, liberal) Minnesota judges are making headlines for the most predictable reasons imaginable.
These ladies have recently dismissed cases against Somali fraudsters in Minnesota, even overturning jury verdicts, allowing the immigrants stealing millions from Americans and Minnesotans to walk free.
Each of these judges found small, technical prosecutorial errors, resulting in the cases being tossed.
Such upstanding judges … so committed to the rule of law!
Here's local reporting in Minnesota on the case where Judge Sarah West tossed the jury verdict:
Jurors who were chosen for the case were shocked by West's decision.
'I am shocked,' jury foreperson Ben Walfoort told KARE 11 News.
'I'm shocked based off of all of the evidence that was presented to us and the obvious guilt that we saw based off of the said evidence.'
When the one case was tossed, these other lady judges decided to toss the related cases.
More Minnesota reporting:
... Judge West's decision stems from a strict review standard for cases that involve mostly circumstantial evidence. A jury is not asked to consider that standard, but appeals courts do, and Young said in this case, Judge West based her decision on it ...
Judges analyzing these cases look not just at proof beyond reasonable doubt but whether guilt is the 'only reasonable hypothesis.'
'In other words, if there is another reasonable explanation, that could be the reasonable doubt,' Young said.
So ... the judge used a different standard and decided that there was a possibility that the defendant might not be guilty of fraud.
The case was tossed.
Prosecutors disagree with Judge West on what evidence should be considered circumstantial. But the fraud scheme that they have alleged has other problems as well.
Court records show other Hennepin County judges tossing related cases before they reached trial. Judge Amber Brennan dismissed the charges against Yusuf's wife Lul Ahmed, and Judge Hilary Caligiuri dismissed charges against co-defendant Abdiweli Mohamud.
The other judges in the cases against the first defendant's wife (and one of his associates) was also tossed.
Even with the unanimous jury decision.
Seems like absolutely vile and corrupt stuff.
