Minnesota Begins Task Force to Help With Crisis of Missing and Murdered Black Women
Lee describes the courtroom for Palmer’s sentencing as terrible after Palmer explained why he murdered her sister. “He said that he found Allah and that is why he killed my sister,” she said.
Palmer was sentenced to life in prison for the murder, but the days it took to find Clardy’s body was eye-opening to her family. “Families who are up at night, who are up looking at night, continuing to look at flyers, in neighborhoods and following leads, I couldn’t imagine going through that more than the ten days that I did,” Lee said.
