>>Hamline Professor Schultz Reacts to Resignations at US Attorney’s Office
(St. Paul, MN) — Six prosecutors suddenly stepped down from Minnesota’s U-S Attorney’s Office, citing frustration over the Department of Justice’s response to the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Hamline University Political and Legal Studies Professor David Schultz believes part of the attorneys’ decision stems from the D-O-J’s pressure to investigate the widow of Good. Schultz said, “In their estimation, the request is inappropriate, and any attorney, when asked to do something inappropriate by their client, either has to refuse or disengage from the case, or perhaps resign.” Schultz believes these attorneys are fulfilling their ethical and legal obligations. Among those resigning is Assistant U-S Attorney Joe Thompson, who prosecuted the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme and charged the alleged killer of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
