Episode Details

Vance Boelter, accused of fatally shooting Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, is set to change his plea in federal court — a move coming after prosecutors dropped the death penalty. The 58-year-old, who also allegedly attacked State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette by posing as a police officer with a fake squad car, was arrested days after the June 14th rampage that left a victim’s dog euthanized. Prosecutors say the attacks were politically motivated, citing a purported confession letter — though motive remains murky. While federal charges won’t affect state cases, the federal plea deal’s terms are still secret, leaving the public and victims’ families in suspense as Boelter prepares to enter his plea.
