Kandiyohi was ordered by a judge to release the footage and now they're in damage control. The sheriff outright said he did not intend to comply with the judge's order until a local big law firm sent him a letter, and they have the clout in the state to actually intimidate.
We then asked the Department of Administration to rule and they also issued an opinion that the sheriff should comply. He said he would decide that to do on the 2nd.
Now, the prosecutor is jumping in to help. Seems like the county conspiracy does exist, but not to hurt that poor little crackhead.
