Walz Freed Murderer Who Offends Again

A former federal prosecutor slammed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), asserting that Walz “has to answer” for his decision to commute the sentence of a man convicted of murdering an 11-year-old girl.

In an interview on Fox Business, Joe Teirab, a Republican candidate running for Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District, described Walz as an “utter failure,” pointing out that the governor “sat on his hands for multiple days” during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots.

Teirab further stated that Walz needed “to answer” for commuting the sentence of Myon Burrell, who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the 2002 murder of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards.

“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,” Teirab explained. 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. 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 16 years old when he was convicted and sentenced, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), who was the district attorney for Hennepin County at the time, prosecuted the case against Burrell.

In December 2020, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Lorie Gildea voted to commute Burrell’s sentence, according to the Minnesota Reformer.

As a result of the commutation, Burrell was released from prison and served the remainder of his sentence under supervised release, the outlet reported.

In September 2023, Burrell faced charges of “gun and drug felonies” after law enforcement officers allegedly found a firearm and drugs in his vehicle during a traffic stop, according to the Associated Press.

Lisa Hanson, a small business owner in Minnesota was thrown in jail for 90 days because she violated Tim Walz's unconstitutional COVID lockdown orders.
