Kristi Noem has come under fire for commuting the life sentence of a man convicted of manslaughter after he was arrested again for allegedly killing a teen girl. Mark Milk, 51, has been charged in connection to the death of 14-year-old McKenna Wendel after Noem, 54, commuted the South Dakota man's 1994 life sentence. Milk faces felony charges after he allegedly transported a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and supplied cocaine that led to the teen's death. Wendel was reported missing on March 15 by her grandparents, Ralph and Rose Wendel, two days after she had last been seen, Sioux Falls police said. Her body was discovered near Brookings in South Dakota on March 19, as prosecutors alleged that the girl died from a drug overdose on or around March 14, ABC News reported. 📷 South Dakota Department of Corrections / Getty Images #kristinoem #crime #news #politics
