VIRGINIA - St. Louis County Attorney Mark Rubin has appointed Bonnie Norlander to become the Iron Rangeâs top prosecutor.
The attorney said that as the head of the Range Criminal Division in the county attorneyâs office Norlander will oversee colleagues in both the Virginia and Hibbing courthouses.
âBonnieâs primary job will be oversight and to keep significant cases herself,â Rubin said during a phone interview on Tuesday. âBecause our county is so big, she will be working as a liaison with law enforcement and with the community and diversity groups to make sure we have good open lines of communication. We want to build trust with the public, including the V.E.M.A. group based in Chisholm. Weâve had meetings with them already and itâs been productive and only getting better going forward.â

Minnesota cold-case suspect alleges constitutional violations in DNA database search

VIRGINIA, Minn. The Chisholm Police Department s hiring of a private company to comb DNA databases in search of the perpetrator in a decades-old killing was illegal, and all evidence obtained as a result should be tossed, a defense attorney argued.
Public defender J.D. Schmid said law enforcement, in cooperation with Parabon NanoLabs, searched two databases without warrant or consent from people whose genetic information was disclosed, in violation of Minnesota law and the state and federal constitutions.
