Didn’t the article say the assault happened around midnight? Normally those parks really clear out by that time as most parents want to get their kids home before then. I’m assuming there was at least one woman there as she was punched by one of the perps.
4th of July, not sure what time the fireworks were around that area (10:00 - 10:30PM?) plus getting an ice cream or something afterwards and it could pretty easily get to close to midnight without noticing.
Even if the victim were to die, I don’t think MN has the death penalty, which is a shame as the killer of Dru Sjodin and these winners would all be great candidates for old sparky.
I’m still astonished that they were out on such a low bail. Wonder who the judge was.
