“I can’t for a minute imagine what that must have felt like for him,” said the lawyer, Perry Moriearty, who was with Mr. Burrell when he left the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater in Bayport, Minn. “He looks forward to going home to his family and just living — it’s been an awfully long time.” Mr. Burrell had twice been convicted of killing Tyesha Edwards, who was in sixth grade when she was fatally shot while doing homework and watching TV at her family’s South Minneapolis home. Tim Walz, who recommended Mr. Burrell’s commutation, told her family during Tuesday’s hearing that “there is nothing I can do to ease your pain, and it will not be made better,” according to The Associated Press.
