Episode Details

Vance Boelter, the man behind the horrific June 14 attacks on Minnesota lawmakers, faces sentencing today after pleading guilty to federal charges—earning him two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years. He admitted to months of stalking his targets, even disguising himself as a police officer to carry out the brutal killings. In one home invasion, he fatally shot Senator John Hoffman and his wife; in another, he killed House Speaker Melissa Hortman after posing as a cop and forcing his way in—her dog also perished. Prosecutors branded it an assault on democracy, while Boelter’s defense seeks a federal prison in Florida offering work and therapy programs, acknowledging he’ll spend the rest of his life behind bars.
