Parents outraged at decision to try man who killed their son as juvenile

A Dakota County jury found a Burnsville woman guilty of murder last month for drag racing her brother on Easter Sunday of 2021. That brother, Leon Bond, crashed into an innocent young couple and killed them both. Bond was 80 days shy of his 18th birthday when it happened.

For the first time, the parents who lost their son and his longtime girlfriend shared their struggle with Minnesota’s juvenile justice system, a system that they say failed their family.
