- Hennepin County is now the only unit in Minnesota reviewing claims of wrongful conviction
Minnesota's state Conviction Review Unit (CRU) was suspended after the federal government stopped funding it, leaving Hennepin County's Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU) as the only entity in the state reviewing claims of wrongful conviction. The shutdown affects about 160 incarcerated individuals seeking review, but Hennepin County can only process cases originating from its jurisdiction.
