Federal government stopped sharing information in Good, Pretti killings, Minnesota officials say
The timing here matters as much as the substance. When federal officers are involved in a shooting on state soil, the state has a legitimate need to know what happened, and its residents have a reasonable expectation that their officials get answers. A federal agency that clamps down on evidence sharing mid-case looks like it is protecting its own people rather than pursuing the truth.
At the same time, the DOJ may have defensible reasons: ongoing investigations routinely require holding some material back, and premature disclosure can compromise witnesses or secondary probes. The federal government also answers to its own chain of command, not to state prosecutors, and that tension is built into the system.
I'd want to know how much evidence was shared before the cutoff and what triggered the stop. If it was a procedural step tied to a formal charging decision, that is one thing. If it happened quietly and suddenly, Minnesota's concern is more justified. Either way, the families of Pretti and Good are waiting on answers.
