Hennepin County Sentencings and Controversial Juvenile Cases: A Closer Look

Two families are closely watching the upcoming sentencings in Hennepin County for individuals involved in separate murder cases. The family of Steven Markey, who was murdered four years ago, is dissatisfied with the plea deal offered to Husayn Braveheart, who was charged as an adult for aiding and abetting in Markey's death. Markey's family wants the judge to dismiss the plea agreement. Another family, whose relative Antonio Moore was stabbed to death, is also unhappy with the plea deal offered to Demetrius Harris. Both families are seeking justice and public safety, while the Hennepin County Attorney's Office argues that the plea deals are necessary to prevent similar tragedies and protect the community. The plea agreements will be reviewed by separate judges.
