In 2004, Randy Sherer, a 55-year-old white man, was killed in Jerry’s Flower Shop in North Minneapolis. Charged for that murder was Marvin Haynes, a young Black 16-year-old. Despite Haynes’ insistent claims that he was innocent and no physical evidence linking Haynes to the murder, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Haynes has been incarcerated in Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater since 2006.
