Minnesota frees man serving life in 2002 child murder
Myon Burrell, 34, released after the Minnesota pardons board commuted his life sentence for the 2002 shooting death of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards. He was 16 at the time. The case drew scrutiny over police methods, an absence of physical evidence tying him to the crime, and later support from a national panel and Gov. Walz.
