A defense lawyer reveals that a Minnesota man intends to plead not guilty to charges involving the killing of a top Democratic leader in the state House and her husband, along with the shooting of another lawmaker and his wife. Vance Boelter, 57, faces six counts of murder, stalking, and firearms violations, potentially carrying the federal death penalty. Despite a handwritten confession letter to the FBI Director, Boelter’s motivations for the killings remain unclear, and his federal defender anticipates a lengthy legal process ahead.
