First off, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, not the City of
Minneapolis Attorney's Office will be prosecuting these cases.
Second off, the County Attorney has 160 attorneys, and over 400 staff total
and it is doubtful that these few cases would cause any overtime or other
things sliding.
Third off, this article does not provide any information as to why these
cases are being brought back. There are good legal reasons that they could
be brought back. Does anyone have information on why this is?
