The reasoning behind the protesters’ appearance at Klobuchar’s rally was quickly apparent in their unified chant of “Free Myon.” The chants referred to the case of Myon Burrell , a now 33-year-old inmate who was suspected of shooting 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards in 2002. Edwards was killed by a stray bullet while she was doing homework at her kitchen table. As a prosecutor for eight years in Minnesota, Klobuchar supervised Burrell's conviction when he was 16-years-old and has frequently mentioned the tragic shooting during her campaign. Now, potential new evidence shows that Burrell — who has maintained his innocence for 18 years — may have been wrongfully convicted.
