Are you a Somali-American living in Minnesota and also participating and possibly already charged and convicted of millions of dollars in Medicaid fraud?

Well, just call Judge Sarah West and she'll let you off the hook.

As far as the case itself goes, jury foreperson Ben Walfoort is quoted as saying "It was not a difficult decision whatsoever ... Based off of the state's evidence that was presented, it was beyond a reasonable doubt."

Despite the jury swiftly convicting Yusuf, Judge Sarah West last week decided that they got it wrong, overturning the verdict and issuing a judgment of acquittal.

Overturning the verdict

Judge Sarah gives notice to future jurors your only a prop.

Will she ever face an election?
In my state many state judges for better or worse are elected positions.

Well, just call Judge Sarah West and she'll let you off the hook.

But don't waste your time if you are white, male, and/or Christian.

The judge looks like an airhead teenager...

She was working 2 jobs, one as judge and the other as defense attorney

Check the judge's financials for any recent unexplained substantial deposits.

"Judge Sarah gives notice to future jurors your only a prop."

Seems like a pretty valid excuse to get out of jury duty for any case she presides over.

Mudshark...

Yes less anger

A civil suit would do a lot of damage. Then appeal the criminal case.

Gotta wonder what her take on that 7.2 is.
