Attorney General Keith Ellison will review the 2018 death of a Beltrami County inmate.

Hardel Sherrell, 27, died of medical complications after his pleas for help were ignored by Beltrami County jail and medical staff.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension completed its investigation in August 2022 and referred the case to Beltrami County Attorney David Hanson to consider possible criminal charges.

Hanson has now requested that the AG's office review the case.

“Hardel Sherrell’s life was important and had value. We’re committed to assisting the Beltrami County Attorney and will follow justice wherever it leads,” Ellison said in a statement. “To Hardel’s mother and loved ones: you have my deepest condolences, and you can count on our very best effort.”

1. Keith Ellison is a good man.

When I last saw Keith, I gave him a big hug and thanked him for bringing peace and closure for Grorge Flyod's family. That was last year when we hosted the DFL State Convention in Richester and I was a Delegate.

I have known Keith since 2005 when he first ran for Congress in the 5th CD as well as supported his re-elections. I highly recommend his book...My Country Tis Of Thee that is a compelling bio.
