Thursday, July 17. State Senator Nicole Mitchell takes the stand in her burglary trial, offering emotional testimony about her stepmother’s worsening Alzheimer’s — and sharing intimate messages meant to prove this wasn’t a break-in. What will the jury think? Then, a man convicted of killing his entire family with an axe at age 16 is set to be released after more than three decades behind bars. Plus, federal agents say they have uncovered yet another massive Medicaid fraud scheme in Minnesota — this one targeting money meant to help people struggling with homelessness.
Also in this episode: reaction from the Olmsted County sheriff who responded to the Brom family murders, new calls for oversight in the state’s housing programs, and a quick look at what’s next in the Mitchell case.
