More and more skeletons continue to be found in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's (D) closet. 

One of the latest discoveries about Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate comes from the Daily Mail.

The outlet reports that Walz, as governor of Minnesota, helped to free "a man twice convicted of the killing of an 11-year-old girl, and who is now facing gun and drug felonies."

With stories such as this one, Harris and Walz are going to have a difficult time claiming that they can help clean up the country's crime problem.

The murder conviction

The convict whom Walz is accused of helping to get out of prison is Myon Burrell.

The Daily Mail reports:

Myon Burrell, then 16, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison after a stray bullet killed 11-year-old girl Tyesha Edwards while she was doing her homework at her dining room table in Hennepin County, Minnesota, in 2002. Police said that the bullet was fired by Burrell, who was aiming it at a rival gang member at the time.

As a result, Burrell was charged as an adult with first-degree murder. Throughout the trial, he maintained his innocence and turned down plea deals, but he was found guilty.

The case ended up making it to the Minnesota Supreme Court. There Burrell's conviction was set aside. But, this was not the end of the matter.

Burrell was retried and he was convicted for a second time in 2009. Newly uncovered evidence helped to secure the conviction.

Walz's role

It was in 2020 that Walz helped to get Burrell out of prison.

"Walz, a member of the Minnesota Board of Pardons in 2020, voted to commute Burrell's sentence, making a scientific case that a life sentence for a teenager was too much," the Daily Mail reports.

Waltz, at the time, claimed, "Justice is not served by incarcerating a child for his entire lifetime for a horrible mistake committed many years ago."

Burrell ended up being freed from prison, thanks, in part, to Walz. But, it was not long thereafter that he found himself, once again, in trouble with the law. In fact, he has already had numerous run-ins with the law.

"He was arrested a second time since his release from prison on drug charges in May 2024 after police say he had illegal drugs in his possession. Police also said they found $60,000 in cash in his apartment . . . Burrell resisted arrest, according to police, trying to walk away before he was placed in handcuffs and put into the squad car."
