Minnesota Politician Killer Pleads Not Guilty | JQJO

Vance Boelter, accused of killing Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and wounding a state senator and his wife, pleaded not guilty in federal court. Boelter faces six counts, including murder, which carries a potential death penalty. Prosecutors cite a handwritten confession and voluminous evidence from a large-scale manhunt. His motives remain unclear, though prosecutors call Hortman's death a political assassination. A revised court schedule, including a potential trial date, is expected.
