“This is a huge moment in not only Minnesota history, but in American history, and I was extremely relieved to hear that a murder was not going to walk free.”
SBHS Sophomore Harper Miller
SBHS sophomore Harper Miller’s reaction was joy.
“This is a huge moment in not only Minnesota history, but in American history, and I was extremely relieved to hear that a murder was not going to walk free,” said Miller.
Because she had previous knowledge of the case, knew exactly what had happened and how compelling the evidence was, she thinks the guilty on all charges verdict is exactly what should’ve happened.
Although she’s happy about the verdict, she still thinks there is plenty of work to be done before things truly change for African- Americans in regards to police brutality.
“There are so many other victims that have been left without justice and it was hard for me to fully celebrate the verdict while being aware of that,” said Miller.
“I hope that this verdict will lead the way for more justice and accountability for police in the future,” she said.
