Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell has been found guilty of felony burglary after a multi-day trial, where she faced two counts related to breaking into her estranged stepmother’s home. The jury reached a unanimous guilty verdict following testimonies and evidence presented during the trial, including bodycam footage and witness statements. Senator Mitchell defended her actions, claiming she intended to conduct a welfare check on her stepmother. However, her testimony and subsequent admission of lying to police during her arrest were scrutinized by the prosecution. The verdict has prompted calls from Minnesota lawmakers for her resignation, with some asserting that the state deserves better representation.
