Fox News: Minnesota Man Freed by Kamala Harris-Supported Bail Fund Now Charged with Murder
EXCERPT:
TOBIN: “Hi, there. George Howard was released on $11,500 bail. His bail was supported by the Minnesota Freedom Fund. If you remember back to the murder of George Floyd and the riots that followed politicians, activists and celebs got on board with the Minnesota Freedom Fund as they were bailing out those arrested in the riot. Kamala Harris was one of them. Evidenced by her tweet from Jun 1, 2020. 'If you’re able to, chip in now to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.' Now with support like that the Freedom Fund banked some $35 million. The Freedom Fund continued to bail people out and stated that if a judge deems them eligible for bail they shouldn’t have to wait simply because they don’t have the money. Now one of those bailed out is George Howard who was jailed on domestic abuse charges. August the six, just a few weeks after he got out there was a road rage incident. Damian Martinez was shot and killed. Howard was arrested and charged with second degree murder. The Freedom Fund acknowledged they supported Howard's bail and tweeted, 'Under new leadership, the MMF has implemented changes to its' policies and procedures, and we will continue to assess them. We are being responsive to the safety and needs of our community.' It should be noted that Howard says he didn’t do it. He says someone in his car shot Martinez. If convicted he is facing a potential of 80 years behind bars.”
