💨 Abstract

A Minnesota prosecutor aims to release Bryan Hooper Sr., who has been imprisoned for 27 years for a murder conviction. A key witness has recanted her testimony and confessed to committing the crime. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty supports Hooper's legal team in seeking to vacate his conviction. Hooper, 54, was convicted in 1998 of premeditated murder and other charges in connection with the death of Ann Prazniak.
