- Vance Boelter, who pleaded guilty to killing Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, is set to be sentenced Thursday after agreeing to two consecutive life terms plus 40 years as part of a deal to avoid the death penalty.
- Prosecutors say Boelter spent months stalking targets, then impersonated a police officer in nighttime attacks that also critically wounded state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife and prompted the largest police search in state history, heightening security and fear among elected officials.
- He still faces state charges (including murder and attempted murder) and civil suits; his defense has asked for placement in a Florida federal prison with access to work and therapy programs.
