The state senator for the Woodbury area will complete a few tasks over the next couple weeks before she steps down.

She is accused of breaking into her late father’s home to retrieve mementos. The defense claims she was checking on her stepmother.

The prosecution and defense put the fate of Minnesota state Sen. Nicole Mitchell in the hands of a jury Friday, as both sides gave closing arguments on felony burglary charges that could hold political consequences as well as criminal.
