MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca Kline is one of the new lead prosecutors in the Feeding Our Future cases, after the departures of other prosecutors in recent months.
She says jumping into these cases has been smooth, as she was already fairly up to speed, and thanks to the overwhelming evidence used to bring both convictions and guilty pleas.
“I think people have seen how damning the evidence has been at trial and how significant the sentencing exposure would be in these schemes after trial.”
