A judge in Minneapolis has sparked rage after she decided to overturn a taxpayer fraud conviction that saw a husband and wife go down for robbing $7.2 million from people.
Abdifatah Yusuf, 44, was found guilty of robbing innocent taxpayers through a home healthcare care company called Promise Health in August.
A jury found that he and his wife, Lul Ahmed, ran a deceitful Medicaid fraud scheme out of a mailbox at the so-called medical company and used the money for 'lavish' shopping sprees, including trips to name brand and designer stores like Coach, Canada Goose, Nike, Michael Kors, and to purchase high end cars, according to prosecutors.
But in a shocking twist of events, and months after Yusuf was found responsible for directing the massive scam, Judge Sarah West decided last week that the jury was all wrong and he should be let off the hook.
She defended her choice by stating that the case 'relied heavily on circumstantial evidence' and that the state of Minnesota did not rule out other potential 'reasonable inferences.'
Her decision to overturn the case, which is extremely rare especially in criminal cases, has ignited a fire storm not just for the general public but for the jurors who sealed his fate.
'I am shocked. I'm shocked based off of all of the evidence that was presented to us and the obvious guilt that we saw based off of the said evidence,' jury foreperson Ben Walfoort told KARE 11 News.
'It was not a difficult decision whatsoever. The deliberation took probably four hours at most. Based off of the state's evidence that was presented, it was beyond a reasonable doubt,' he added.

Hey, it’s just what far-left, liberal judges do!
Especially if they are being threatened or on the take.
Sounds like this judge overstepped...The State should appeal and hopefully have this judge overturned.
Send Judge West to the far Est, she needs and extended holiday in Mogadishu.
Enough of this crap already. How can these judges be removed from the bench? Between this and these other a-holes constantly ordering Trump around like they are Emperors of the universe, enough of this BS.
