Inmate charged with second-degree murder for death of corrections officer at Stillwater prison

MPR’s Tim Nelson reports: “Edward Muhammad Johnson was formally charged Thursday with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Stillwater prison corrections officer Joseph Gomm. Johnson, 42, was also charged with second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon. Washington County Attorney Pete Orput also said Thursday he intends to take the case to a grand jury, which is required for first-degree murder charges in Minnesota.”

Seems like a really wise use of city resources. KMSP-TV story says, “A contract obtained by KSTP details the agreement between the city of Minneapolis and an outside consultant to investigate the leak of a draft report that alleged Minneapolis Police Department officers repeatedly asked medics to sedate people with ketamine. According to the contract, Minneapolis will pay NeuVest $275 an hour to conduct ‘neutral workplace investigation.’ The firm's compensation is not to exceed $100,000, the contract states.”

Feeling less north-y: For MPR, Cody Nelson writes, “Everywhere in Minnesota's feeling the effects of climate change. And the warming climate affects each of those places a bit differently. Northern Minnesota's Lake Superior shoreline is no exception. … Big rains and snowstorms are getting larger, and more frequent. Ask North Shore residents and they'll probably tell you it's getting wetter. There's data to back it up, too.”
