Minnesota prosecutors filed misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges Tuesday against a woman accused of using a racist slur against a Black child at a playground — an incident the woman has since used to raise more than $800,000 after she appealed for help with relocating.
This is a criminal case with 3 disorderly conduct charges with a maximum fine of $1000 each.
Isn’t there a law saying you can’t profit off a crime? Could that money then be confiscated?
Not typically. That’s why you never see restitution for victims of most corporate crimes.
That’s typically considered a civil issue.
I don’t think that would or could happen.
