Who is FMLR Minnesota
Felony Murder Law Reform Minnesota (#FMLR) was birthed out of several families who experienced the horror of our loved ones facing first degree murder charges under these unjust murder laws. As family members, we were devastated and appalled to find out that someone could be charged with a murder they did not commit, did not intend to have happen, and in some cases didn’t even know had taken place until after the fact! We had no idea that these laws even existed until someone we knew directly or indirectly were affected by them.
