On Tuesday, Townhall<\/a> posted an article reporting that a Minnesota judge has thrown out a jury’s guilty verdict.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

We’ve told you quite a bit about Minnesota’s ongoing fraud problems, the vast majority of them stemming from the large Somali population in and around Minneapolis. The state has paused Medicaid payments<\/a> over fraud concerns (and that fraud has led to at least one death<\/a>), and millions of dollars were laundered through the Feeding Our Future<\/a> program and state housing programs<\/a>, too. A lot of that money ended up in the hands of Al-Shabaab<\/a>, the largest terrorist group in Somalia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite all the evidence of fraud, a Minnesota judge has just overturned a jury’s guilty verdict in one Medicare fraud case, paving the way for all the other fraud convictions to be overturned as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The jury heard that Yusuf and his wife were charged and the jury learned his “home health company” was operated out of a mailbox at an address where multiple other “home health companies” als operated. The state showed they spent tens of thousands of dollars on luxury items.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The jury quickly found the couple guilty. Now, a judge in Hennepin County, Sarah West, has overturned that verdict.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It’s reversing or overturning a jury’s verdict,” said defense attorney Joe Tamburino. Tamburino was not affiliated with Yusuf’s case but looked at the judge’s decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Tamburino, Judge West said the state’s cased relied “heavily on circumstantial evidence” and that the state did not “exclude other reasonable, rational inferences.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“That, in fact, there could’ve been other reasonable theories other than guilt in this case. That’s what it comes down to,” Tamburino said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remind me again why we have juries.<\/p>\n

There are a number of legal cases working their way through the courts involving Feeding Our Future. The writers at Power Line Blog<\/a> have followed these cases (some recent examples here<\/a> and here<\/a>). The amount of fraud is unbelievable and people need to be held accountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
