Who were the prosecutors? Anyone know?
Assistant County Attorney Dan Allard
The case was pretty weak. Sordid details
here.
Watkins is a piece of societal detritus. He's got an apparently good attorney and he's got a pretty bad record:
AGGRAVATED ROBBERY FIRST DEGREE
THEFT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
FLEEING A PEACE OFFICER IN MOTOR VEHICLE
REMOVAL OF FIREARM SERIAL NUMBER
MSD FALSE INFO TO P/O
.00/4D DWI
NO MN DL
DL Suspend-Fail to PayAt least there is this:

While he was acquitted of all charges, Watkins remains behind bars at the Hennepin County Jail on $100,000 bail Tuesday for a different case. Watkins was charged by the Hennepin County Attorney's Office on June 27 with false imprisonment and terroristic threats after allegedly violating a restraining order.
According to Brooklyn Park Police, Watkins forced his girlfriend into a car, threatened her, and then beat her on May 12, 2008.
To complicate matters though, the girlfriend in the above case is the one who testified against him in the Marks trial.
