Minnesota Supreme Court: The Legal Foundation of These Charges is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THE CALCULATED TRAP
When the State’s legal premise is ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL, why did the Attorney General’s Office choose to pursue the most aggressive RICO charges against the "Willis family name" unless the objective was to defend a calculated political image rather than pursue justice?
A POLITICAL VENDETTA
THE ULTIMATE QUESTION OF MALICE
The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has publicly dealt with controversies involving another high-profile individual named Willis.
The Charge: The AGO chose to file the most aggressive RICO and Aggravated Theft charges against Chavis Dupree Willis (a former felon with the same sensitive last name).
The Political Payoff
The Unconstitutional Act: The charges were filed at the precise moment the Governor needed the headline, even though the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled the legal theory behind the case is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
- The MFCU Referral (2018) proves the criminal unit knew of the issue and waited (AGO-0160090).
- The DHS Fraud Referral (Ex. 5) proves the State rejected the non-criminal payment halt (AGO-0168537).
This is not a mistake; it is documented, willful disregard for due process to secure a political conviction.
Why The Timing Matters
The state settled with NUWAY Alliance, a company accused of "verifiable fraud" for over $18.5 million. In contrast, the state is pursuing criminal charges against Granny's, a black-owned business, over a legal disagreement on administrative compliance. This section will argue that this is evidence of a two-tiered system of justice.
“Justice should not depend on who you are or who you know.”
The Pending Sale and the Raid
A Business on the Brink of Success
Granny’s Helpful Hands wasn’t failing—it was thriving. After years of dedication, sacrifice, and community service, the company was just 30–40 days away from finalizing an $11 million sale. This sale wasn’t just a financial transaction. It represented:
- Generational wealth for a Black family business.
- Stability for employees who had committed years of service.
- Continued support for clients and patients who relied on Granny’s every day.
The Raid That Changed Everything
Before the deal could close, the state launched a sudden raid—without warning—destroying the buyer’s confidence and collapsing negotiations overnight. With one aggressive action:
- The $11 million opportunity vanished.
- Dozens of workers lost the security of a stable employer.
- A respected Black-owned business was brought to its knees.
Why Timing Matters
The timing was not coincidence—it was calculated collateral damage. By acting just before the sale, the state ensured that Granny’s could not recover. This wasn’t about justice. It was about control and elimination, targeting a minority-owned business when it was at its strongest point.
What’s at Stake for Everyone
This is bigger than one family or one business.
- For the public, it shows how government overreach can wipe out livelihoods in an instant.
- For the media, it’s a clear example of systemic injustice that deserves scrutiny.
- For the legal community, it raises urgent questions about due process and abuse of power.
- For supporters, it’s a call to defend not only Granny’s Helpful Hands, but every business that could one day face the same kind of unjust targeting.
“The raid didn’t just take away an $11 million sale—it stole a legacy, silenced a community resource, and set a dangerous precedent for every small business owner.”
The Keith Ellison - Willis Connection
A Surprising Link
Attorney General Keith Ellison’s past reveals an unexpected connection: his history intersects with a gang leader who shares the same last name as the defendant, Willis. While this does not prove direct involvement, the connection is unusual—and it raises serious questions about whether this prosecution is motivated by something more than law and evidence.
Why It Matters
- Perception of Bias: When personal or political history overlaps with a case, it creates the appearance of conflict—even if none is officially acknowledged.
- Selective Targeting: Why pursue Granny’s with criminal charges while larger institutions with verifiable fraud only face civil settlements?
- Public Confidence: The justice system depends on public trust. Any appearance that prosecutions are politically motivated undermines that trust.
A Bigger Pattern
When viewed alongside the timing of the raid, the collapse of the $11 million sale, and the contrasting treatment of NUWAY Alliance, the Ellison–Willis connection cannot be ignored. It adds another layer to a troubling pattern: one where politics and personal history appear to override facts and fairness.
“Justice must be impartial. When politics and personal history enter the courtroom, justice is compromised.”
Connecting the Dots
The video below provides a broader lens. They show how systemic bias, selective enforcement, and political agendas have repeatedly undermined the progress of Black entrepreneurs. Each story adds weight to the argument that Granny’s is not an exception—it is part of a national crisis of justice and equity.
