| Judge recommends against key permit for NewRange copper mine, formerly known as PolyMet
|
A state administrative law judge has dealt another blow to the proposed NorthMet copper-nickel mine, by recommending that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources deny the key “Permit to Mine” the facility needs to operate.
In a 40-page ruling issued late Tuesday, Judge James E. LaFave found that the mine’s proposed method of storing reactive mine waste, by lining the mine’s tailings waste facility with a type of clay known as bentonite, “is not a practical and workable reclamation technique.”

| Man serving life for 2004 murder makes his case for innocence
|
A man serving life in prison for a 2004 murder got the rare chance on Tuesday to argue in court for his exoneration. A jury convicted Marvin Haynes, 35, of fatally shooting flower shop owner Harry “Randy” Sherer, 55, during a robbery in north Minneapolis.
Haynes was 16 at the time. Great North Innocence Project attorneys argue that Minneapolis police misled witnesses with suggestive lineup techniques. Several have since recanted their testimony.
