| String of plea deals from Minneapolis DA outrages families of victims, draws concern from legal experts |

| [FoxNews] A string of controversial plea deals from a Minneapolis district attorney has been met with outrage by the families of murder victims and sparked concern from legal experts who say the move could exacerbate crime. "The types of plea deals offered by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty are inconsistent with the demands of justice," Tim Rosenberg, a Bradley fellow at Stanford's Constitution Law Center, told Fox News Digital. Some of Moriarty’s decisions seem too lenient for even Democratic Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, whom billionaire George Soros backs. In 2022, Zaria McKeever was killed by two teen brothers hired by her ex-boyfriend. Prosecutors initially pushed to try both teenagers as adults but were offered probationary deals by Moriarty. The case was reassigned to Ellison, who said Moriarty’s move was "disproportionate to the seriousness of the crime." "While I share the belief that too many juveniles are involved in the adult criminal justice system, accountability for the seriousness of this crime has been missing in this case," Ellison wrote.
