Kendrea Johnson was only six years old when she was found dead, hanging from a jump rope in the home of her foster parent in an apparent suicide. In the four years since her 2014 passing, Kendrea's family has fought Hennepin County to hold them accountable not simply for her death, but for ignoring the ongoing warning signs of impending danger.
Andrew Irlbeck was part of the trio of Twin Cities attorneys that negotiated the $1.5 million dollar settlement with Hennepin county on behalf of Kendrea's family. The settlement amounts to one of the largest of its kind in Minnesota.

Abrams was with friends at the Lexington Ave station, heading home from work at the State Fair, when he was approached by officer Richard Wegner. The teen soon found himself body slammed onto the concrete platform by officer Wegner, causing him to lose consciousness.

Marcus Abrams was unable to present identification when asked.
