Nearly 10 years ago, Cordale Quinn Handy was killed by Saint Paul police during a mental health crisis.
The criminal investigation closed in 2017. But today, we know more than investigators did then.
During the 2023 civil trial, the jury heard testimony from an eyewitness who was never interviewed by the BCA. She testified that Cordale complied with officers’ commands, threw his gun aside, and had his hands raised when officers opened fire. Forensic pathology evidence presented at trial also called into question the officers’ account of the shooting.
This is not about relitigating the past—it is about ensuring that when significant new evidence comes to light, our justice system has the integrity to review it.
The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office previously said it would consider newly discovered evidence that differs from what was presented in 2017. That evidence now exists.
We are calling on the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to conduct a full, fair, and independent reinvestigation into the killing of Cordale Handy.
The Handy family has waited nearly a decade for every piece of evidence to be heard. They deserve a complete and thorough review.
