WINONA, Minn. – Shortly after his murder conviction in Mankato, Adam Fravel was loaded into an unmarked Winona County sheriff’s vehicle for the 140-mile trip to Winona. He will be in the Winona jail until his sentencing on December 17, then transferred to a state prison for a mandatory life sentence. The two-person crew in the prisoner transport vehicle, a Winona County sheriff’s Dodge Durango, described Fravel as somber. A second Winona County vehiicle with two sheriff’s officers trailed Fravel’s vehicle. There were no stops on the way. Fravel was unloaded at the Winona jail about 3 p.m. Although cuffed, Fravel was still wearing his gray suit and tie from the Mankato courtroom where the verdict was read. In Winona he was issued a standard jail jumpsuit. He has a cell all his own but has access to a common cell block area with other inmates.
