A Minnesota state senator was convicted of burglary Friday for breaking into her estranged stepmother’s home, and faced calls for her immediate resignation from a closely divided chamber where she holds a deciding vote.
Minnesota DFL state Sen. Nicole Mitchell of Woodbury testified in her own defense in her felony burglary trial Thursday, claiming the sole reason she broke into her stepmother’s home last year was out of concern for her mental health and well-being as she struggles with Alzheimer’s.
