Noem commutation linked to new murder charges in SD case
In February 2023, Gov. Kristi Noem commuted the life sentence of a man named Milk for a 1993 stabbing death in Winner, South Dakota. Prosecutors later filed charges tying Milk to the death, with South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley saying the commutation was Noem’s decision. The Associated Press notes Noem has since joined NovaRed Mining in a strategic advisory role.
