- ugh123 7mo agoThe Fargo DA should be fired, at a minimum.
- zoklet-enjoyer 7mo agoThe prosecutors and judges around here are incredibly lenient for the worst crimes and anything involving reckless driving. https://www.inforum.com/news/north-dakota/no-jail-time-for-moorhead-man-who-killed-2-in-crash-while-snapchatting https://www.inforum.com/news/north-dakota/no-jail-time-for-m... https://www.kvrr.com/2025/11/03/no-jail-time-for-man-accused-of-running-over-bicyclist-last-march-in-downtown-fargo/ https://www.kvrr.com/2025/11/03/no-jail-time-for-man-accused... https://apnews.com/general-news-fff59b609215476a9251edb91923dcd4 https://apnews.com/general-news-fff59b609215476a9251edb91923... https://www.valleynewslive.com/2021/05/21/moorhead-man-sentenced-to-30-years-murdering-dismembering-19-year-old-girl/ https://www.valleynewslive.com/2021/05/21/moorhead-man-sente... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Holmberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Holmberg https://www.valleynewslive.com/2025/11/18/former-clay-county-correctional-employee-sentenced-community-service-probation-after-april-crash/ https://www.valleynewslive.com/2025/11/18/former-clay-county...
- throwaway17_17 7mo agoI can almost guarantee that the Fargo DA’s office had zero idea this happened and had never heard about this investigation before the news story. At this stage in a “case” it’s completely on law enforcement and there is no involvement by a DA’s office for the arrest warrant or the extradition order and warrant that led to this situation. Not a fan of DA’s offices in general (they are the “evil twin” to my particular line of work after all), but realistically this one isn’t on them.
