Eight people were arrested last night during a pro-Palestinian protest that blocked traffic in Minneapolis. Several vehicles allegedly blocked drivers in the eastbound lanes of I-94 in the Lowry Hill Tunnel during rush hour. And a Minnesota man who spent nearly two decades in prison for murder woke up today a free man. A judge Monday vacated the murder conviction of Marvin Haynes, who was serving life in prison for a 2004 killing.
