A chilling case of political violence unfolds as Vance Boelter, 59, faces sentencing for the brutal killings of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, plus wounding Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Boelter, who stalked his victims for months and disguised himself as a police officer to carry out the attacks, pleaded guilty to federal charges and agreed to two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years — avoiding the death penalty. Prosecutors called his actions an assault on democracy, while his defense seeks placement in a federal prison in Florida for access to therapy and programs. Sentencing is set for this Thursday.
