crime with arguments often citing kelberg use of a racial slur by his own account during the altercation this incident also took place in a neighboring area to the infamous shooting of fando Castile in 2016 Castile is one of the most prominently named victims mentioned by the black lives matter movement having been fatally shot by police officer urano yanes yanz was eventually found not guilty with the assistance of his lawyer Earl Gray who made a controversial reputation for himself in defense of yanz killing Castile kelberg was released on a half a million doll bail only 5 days after the incident it would only be a few short week weeks later that kelberg would hire none other than Earl Gray himself to represent him in this case drawing even more public attention on March 30th 2023 over a year after the initial incident Brian kellberg would be found guilty by the jury of Murder in the second degree initially kelberg was sentenced for 12 1/2 years in prison but the court ordered that sentence to be stayed and kelberg will instead serve one year in the Ramsey County Correctional Facility he will also be put on supervised probation for 10 years where he cannot possess Firearms he must participate in mental health therapy and he has to pay fees of over $113,000 he's also required to complete 150 hours of community service every year for 10 years or roughly 3 hours of community service every week he will also still retain his right to vote while he is not incarcerated and is able to register to vote after July 1st 2023 according to news sources Ramsey County District Judge Leonardo Castro gave the compelling reasons for diverting from the typical sentence given for a second deegree murder charge Castro mentions that kelberg would have a low risk of trouble during probation citing no prior criminal history he also noted how kelberg a Navy veteran has physical and mental disabilities that require regular treatment after hearing that sentence AJ Stewart's mother is quoted saying I'm beyond disappointed 365 days this is treacherously heartbreaking we have a lot of people parking there all the time it's it's gotten less but it happens now then
