MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A judge has convicted a Minnesota man on gun and drug charges in a case that drew attention because he was sentenced to life in prison as a teen in a high-profile murder case and spent 18 years in prison before his sentence was commuted.
FILE - Myon Burrell is surrounded by family upon his release from prison at the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater in Bayport, Minn., Dec. 15, 2020. MINNEAPOLIS — A judge has convicted a Minnesota man on gun and drug charges in a case that drew attention because he was sentenced to life in prison as a teen in a high-profile murder case and spent 18 years in prison before his sentence was commuted.
Kappelhoff noted in his ruling, dated Friday, that both sides agreed that the final resolution of the case will depend on a ruling from the Minnesota Court of Appeals on whetherin Burrell’s vehicle. The charges will be dropped if the appeals court rules that the stop was unconstitutional, as the defense argues. A sentencing date has not been set.
That led the state pardons board to commute Burrell’s sentence after he had spent more than half his life in prison. However, his pardon request was denied so his 2008 conviction for first-degree murder remained on his record, making it still illegal for him to have a gun.
