A jury found St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez not guilty Friday in the fatal shooting of Philando Castile, whose livestreamed death during a traffic stop stunned a nation. Castile’s family called the decision proof of a dysfunctional criminal justice system, while prosecutors cautioned the public to respect the jury’s verdict “because that is the fundamental premise of the rule of law.” http://www.startribune.com/fifth-day-of-jury-deliberations-underway-in-yanez-trial/428862473/#1...
Almost immediately, the jury in the trial of officer Jeronimo Yanez was leaning toward a not-guilty verdict an all counts.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's Washington hotel saw almost $20 million in revenue during its first few months of operation — a period that coincided with his election and inauguration as the 45th president. His Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, which he's visited seven times as president, pulled in millions of dollars more than it had previously. The new details were included in a financial disclosure that Trump voluntarily submitted Friday to the Office of Government Ethics, the first snapshot of the Trump Organization's finances since its...

Amazon’s $13.7 billion acquisition of Whole Foods — an effort to conquer groceries, one of the only categories the online behemoth has not yet successfully translated online — is a direct challenge to Minnesota’s biggest food retailers. Shares of Minneapolis-based Target Corp., for whom groceries make up about a fifth of sales, fell about 5 percent on Friday after the deal was announced. Eden Prairie-based Supervalu, the parent of Cub Foods, saw its stock tumble about 14 percent. Other grocers also felt the pain — Kroger’s shares dropped abo...

BEMIDJI -- Sharon Osborn walked through her mother’s old bedroom, gesturing at the walls of framed photographs: family holidays, graduation photos, kids wearing the same hand-me-down shirt in different school portraits. “These are her babies,” Osborn said. Beyond the bedroom is a porch, replete with hockey trophies, science fair awards and a bay-window view of Midge Lake. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/local/4285220-artifacts-life-onita-osborn-passed-away-june-after-life-travel-and-sharing-her...

WASHINGTON – Minnesota hospital executives expect big hits to bottom lines and possible service disruptions if Congress approves President Donald Trump’s proposed budget or the U.S. Senate passes a health care reform bill like one approved by the House. Either action could add millions to the ranks of uninsured patients across the country. Health executives interviewed by the Star Tribune expect uncompensated care to rise significantly under the health care delivery plans now on the table, and the effect on business operations for one of the...
A price war between discount grocers Walmart and Aldi is spreading across the country and could soon roil the Twin Cities food market. For years, Walmart watched Aldi stores locate near its own stores and sometimes, as in Roseville earlier this month, right next door. http://www.startribune.com/pressure-builds-on-twin-cities-grocery-stores-as-aldi-others-turn-up-the-heat/428960953/...

Police and firefighters were searching charred areas of the forest and isolated homes...
WASHINGTON – A member of President Donald Trump's legal team said Sunday that the president is not under investigation by the special counsel looking into Russia's election-year meddling, contradicting Trump's assertion in a Friday morning tweet that he is a subject of the widening inquiry. The denial Sunday by Jay Sekulow, one of several personal lawyers Trump has hired to represent him in the Russia case, is the latest of many examples in which the president's aides and lawyers have scrambled to avert a public-relations mess created by T...

As many as 50 senior bureaucrats at the Department of Interior are being shuffled into other roles than the ones they had under President Barack Obama, according to The Washington Post.

Imagine a car filled with young American Indian boxers on the White Earth, Leech Lake or Red Lake Reservation. They could be headed towards Detroit Lakes, Park Rapids or Bemidji. They are young teenage boys who may have not trained too well, have not eaten too well and who may be going up against a more fit experienced boxer. The voices of the boys are filled with timid enthusiasm. The coaches remind them again about saving their energy and not to go all out in the first round. They try to give them confidence. Some of them will be in the ring...
Over a four-year college basketball career, Ho-Chunk point guard Bronson Koenig became one of the most decorated players in Wisconsin Badgers basketball history. In his college career, he made two Final Four appearances, one National Championship Game appearance, and made the Sweet 16 every season. Bronson Koenig was also named to the Third-Team All-Big Ten as a junior and was a Second-Team selection as a senior. Because he was injured, Bronson Koenig does not look like he will be selected in either of the first two rounds of the NBA Draft for...
