Walz Under Fire for Commuting Murder Sentence

A former federal prosecutor in Minnesota is dropping a dime on Governor Tim Walz.

Joe Teirab, who is now running as a GOP candidate in MN-2, informed voters about a commutation given by Walz that is also tied to Kamala Harris.

According to Teirab, Walz commuted the sentence of Myon Burrell, who was later picked up on new charges but set free because of the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which Kamala Harris had helped fund.

Set Them Free

Teirab stated that Burrell was a member of the violent Bloods gang.

He had been arrested and convicted of the murder of an 11-year-old girl who was at her home, sitting at a table, doing her homework, when she was shot and killed during gang violence in the streets.

A stray bullet came through the walls of the house, killing the little girl.

Burrell, of course, maintained he was innocent, and Walz ended up commuting his sentence, but that is hardly where this tale ends.

Teirab explained, “I think Tim Walz has to answer for this: there’s a man in Minnesota, a criminal named Myon Burrell, and some people might know his story because Myon Burrell’s a Bloods criminal street gang member. I charged the Bloods in a more recent case.

“Myon Burrell shot and killed an 11-year-old girl who was doing her homework on her kitchen table in Minneapolis.

“He was convicted and he did almost 20 years in prison. And, after — he maintained his innocence, which he definitely wasn’t. Guess who commuted his sentence? Tim Walz commuted his sentence.”

Then he added, “And, not long after being off of probation for three months, this criminal, Myon Burrell, got picked up for having drugs and a gun in his car.

“And guess who bailed him out? Because he was set free. Guess who bailed him out? The Minnesota Freedom Fund. The same fund that Kamala Harris was soliciting funds for during the riots.”

Burrell was reportedly 16 when he committed the murder, a crime that was prosecuted by then DA Amy Klobuchar, now a Democrat Minnesota Senator.

In addition to Walz voting for the commutation, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Lorie Gildea also supported it.
