Man who killed Democratic Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman is sentenced to two life terms plus 40 years in prison

Vance Boelter, 59, was sentenced to two consecutive life terms plus 40 years in prison for the politically motivated killings of Democratic Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Boelter pleaded guilty in June to six counts related to these deaths and the shootings of state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. This sentencing occurred over a year after the attacks, following a plea deal to ensure federal prosecutors would not seek the death penalty.
