The Hennepin County Attorney's Office confirms prosecutors will seek the maximum sentence for the suspect alleged to have thrown a 5-year-old boy over the railing of a third-story balcony at Mall of America last month.
Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda has been charged with first-degree premeditated attempt to commit murder.
On Thursday, the county attorney's office confirmed they have filed an upward departure in the case, meaning they will seek the maximum sentence of 20 years (240 months) in prison.
Last week, a family spokesperson said the boy is now out of critical condition, and is alert and conscious. The family hopes he will be able to return home by June.
According to the criminal complaint, Aranda told authorities he "had formed a plan to kill someone at the Mall" the day before, and had come to the mall with the intent of carrying that plan out, but it did not "work out." He allegedly said he "planned to kill an adult, because they usually stand near the balcony, but he chose the victim instead."
He is due back in court next Tuesday.
alleged suspect
unlikely to serve the full term
Fry him
Careful legal-speak, even though he admitted doing it.
After planning to do it.
They can’t even call him a SUSPECT in print!
Typical violent Democrat.
Your talking about Minnesota, he will probably be running for Governor on the Dems ticket.
Send him back to Somalia.
Make sure he is put in prison with Array Nation hoods. They will make sure this animal gets real justice.
You may be onto something, there.
It has been reported that he has some serious mental issues.

We’ve been over this, already.
Not Somali, just a black punk from Chicago.
Just throw him off of a very tall building.
A bargain for the taxpayers.
.
They should throw him off the balcony.

The five year old boy could have deployed his white privilege and avoided the problem...
They need to charge him with several crimes, so that he can get the maximum for each crime ans serve them consecutively. Child endangerment, attempted murder, terrorism, as just a few examples I can quickly think of. I doubt they will have any trouble getting convictions on those three.
Good news. Thanks for posting.
As it was planned, let’s add a conspiracy charge.
