The letter, written by Imran Ali, MPPOA’s general counsel, says that Moriarty is unable to be impartial in those cases.
“County Attorney Moriarty’s ongoing public comments about police officers demonstrate a clear bias against law enforcement and a lack of impartiality in her decision-making processes,” the letter says.
Moriarty recently dropped charges against Minnesota State Trooper Ryan Londregan, saying she could not have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime had been committed in the death of Ricky Cobb II.
