A 19-year-old man pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of third-degree murder in connection with a 2021 crash that killed a Wisconsin couple in Burnsville. The Dakota County attorney's office sought to certify Leon Bond as an adult in the case. The county attorney's office says Senior Judge Joseph Carter instead ordered the case proceed under extended juvenile jurisdiction, which they appealed. The Minnesota Court of Appeals court upheld Carter's decision. Dakota County District Judge Christopher Lehmann has set Bond's sentencing and juvenile disposition hearing for Jan.
