MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA: Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty is at odd with the relatives of Minneapolis crime victims as they they think the convicted killers of their family members were given lenient punishments.
Moriarty became the district attorney in January 2023, after a somewhat contentious election.
Termed as a "progressive prosecutor," Moriarty described herself as "a fierce advocate for fighting systemic injustices" intending to "put a spotlight on racial biases in the criminal legal system," per Daily Mail.
However, the family members of the victims now want her to change her stance as they believe the killers have not received the punishment they deserve.
