Vance Boelter pleaded guilty Thursday to murder, stalking and firearms crimes in connection with the killings of former Minnesota DFL House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, as well an attack on DFL state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and their daughter, Hope, a year ago.
Boelter’s plea agreement calls for him to serve two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years in exchange for prosecutors’ pledge not to seek the death penalty.www.mprnews.org
