Ep 293: Attorney says Minnesota prosecutors have been 'ignoring' the law in charging police officers

Attorney Chris Madel spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about how Minnesota police officers have been prosecuted without a grand jury indictment — as required by Minnesota law.
Madel raised this issue while defending Minnesota Trooper Ryan Londregan before Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty dropped the charges in the case. However, the lack of a grand jury indictment —as required by Minnesota law — also affects the prosecutions of other Minnesota police officers, including Derek Chauvin, who raised this same issue in his latest petition.
“I think with respect to Minnesota Statute 628.61 ... I think they're just ignoring it. There is no real other explanation for it," said Madel.
