明尼苏达州参议员Nicole Mitchell 面临另外一起重罪指控, Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell faces an additional felony charge related to her arrest with burglary tools.

明尼苏达州参议员尼科尔·米切尔(Nicole Mitchell)于2024年4月在继母家中被捕时, 面临“持有入室盗窃或偷窃工具”的附加重罪指控, Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell faces an additional felony charge of "possession of burglary or theft tools" in relation to her April 2024 arrest at her stepmother's home, where she was found with a flashlight and a crowbar. Mitchell最初被控一级入室盗窃罪,她坚持自己无罪,并认罪。 Originally charged with first-degree burglary, Mitchell maintains her innocence and has pleaded not guilty. 她的审判原定于1月进行,但由于明尼苏达州法律允许立法人员在立法会议期间不出庭,审判被推迟到6月。 Her trial, initially set for January, was delayed until June due to Minnesota law, which exempts lawmakers from court appearances during legislative sessions. 参议院共和党人批评这一情况,要求Mitchell辞职。 Senate Republicans have criticized the situation, calling forMitchell's resignation.
