From the Daily Caller: A Minnesota prosecutor said she declined to bring felony charges against a state official whom police said vandalized six Tesla vehicles due to “public safety” and “recidivism rates.”
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty explained Wednesday why a fiscal policy analyst under Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration qualified for pre-charge diversion for causing more than $21,000 in damages to Teslas. The left-leaning prosecutor dismissed mounting accusations that she is soft on crime, and asked why the community wasn’t talking about gun control instead.
“If [defendants] go through the traditional system and they have a felony conviction on their record, they are much more likely to come back and commit a new crime,” Moriarty said at a press briefing. “That is because a felony conviction destabilizes their lives, they may lose their job, lose their housing and it can just lead to future criminal activity.”
“We are very much focused on public safety,” Moriarty said. “Now … there are some people who want people to have felony convictions. That’s fine if that’s what they want, but that is not about public safety.”
“I think the puzzling thing about this is that that is a low-level property crime, and so why aren’t we talking about gun violence?” Moriarty argued as justification for not charging Adams for vandalizing at least six Tesla vehicles.
Last week Minneapolis police posted four videos, showing footage of Adams vandalizing one vehicle after another while out walking his dog.
Meet Minnesota State employee Dylan Bryan Adams. He was reportedly arrested for allegedly causing over $20,000 in damages to Teslas in Minneapolis after he vandalized them.

This is MN District Attorney Mary Moriarty.
Today, she filed felony charges against a 19-year-old woman for allegedly keying her co-workers car.
Just yesterday, she refused to charge a Tim Walz staffer who did over $20k in damage to 6 Teslas.

INSANE: Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who decided NOT to file charges against a MN state employee who keyed multiple Teslas, DID file felony charges against a 19-year-old woman who reportedly keyed her co-worker’s car.
