The Minnesota Court of Appeals has given the thumbs up to an Otter Tail County District judge who gave the maximum sentence to a Fergus Falls woman after she pleaded guilty to second-degree unintentional murder of a 6-year-old boy in her care.
Bobbie Christine Bishop was charged in 2018 with second-degree murder (without intent), first-degree manslaughter, two counts of second-degree manslaughter, and malicious punishment of a child (great bodily harm) after the death of 6-year-old Justis Burland.

Even as the state chugs ahead in expanding high-speed internet access, broadband remains a source of frustration in many rural areas.
At their March 9 meeting, Otter Tail County commissioners agreed to pay $30,000 for a two-year position to focus on expanding broadband access.
It’s through an organization called Lead for Minnesota, which seeks to supply leaders age 21 to 30 to help rural communities with a variety of issues. In this case, the issue is broadband access, with Land O’ Lakes sharing the cost to place four of these leaders, called fellows, throughout Minnesota.
