This is an analysis of issues in the trial of Jermaine Stansberry which took place in September 2003.
Stansberry, a 29-year-old African American man and father of two, was convicted of second degree murder in the shooting death of a University of Minnesota football player, Brandon Hall, in Minneapolis’ “warehouse” entertainment district in the wee hours of the morning on September 1, 2002.
Evidence suggests that Stansberry’s friend, Raymond Hardimon, actually did the shooting. An analysis of DNA residue on the murder weapon excludes Stansberry and others from the mixture, but does not exclude Hardimon. Furthermore, according to a police report the gun used to kill Brandon Hall was recovered from Hardimon’s possession. It was picked up from the pavement of a parking lot next to a van occupied by Hardimon and a friend, Lee Cain, when police arrested them. Stansberry was arrested down the street. Yet the country prosecutor charged Stansberry for the crime and allowed Hardimon to plead guilty to a lesser charge.
Hardimon has continued to commit violent crimes while Stansberry sits in prison. The county attorney who successfully tried the case is now a United States Senator.
