Vance Boelter pleads guilty to murder charges, poised to spend life behind bars
Vance Boelter pleaded guilty this morning to federal charges related to the murders of former State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Boelter also pleaded guilty to charges related to the shootings of State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
While Boelter’s guilty plea brings some closure to one of the darkest chapters in Minnesota history, the absence of a trial means questions surrounding Boelter, his actions leading up to the shootings, and his motives may go unanswered.
However, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced that her office would still pursue state murder charges against Boelter despite the federal plea deal. Should that case go to trial, more information about Boelter’s motives could come out then.
BREAKING: As we’ve been reporting since Saturday, the death penalty is now officially off-the-table for Vance Boelter, the man accused of the murders of Melissa and Mark Hortman, plus the shootings of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. Here’s a new court filing just in: @kstp

Alpha News attorney pushes back on Star Tribune’s denial of potential sale
"Why were you having your number-one lawyer deal with me to negotiate a non-disclosure agreement if you had no intention of doing it in the first place?" attorney Chris Madel said.
"You're a shitty Attorney," Star Tribune reporter Christopher Vondracek said in reply to Madel's criticisms of his reporting on the topic. "Third rate thirst political bouncy castle."
Tim Walz spent 2024 on the campaign trail talking about “joy.”
Back home, he was enabling billions in taxpayer funds to flow to fraudsters — including money meant for hungry children — and punishing the people who tried to stop it.

MORE: Amy Klobuchar's primary opponent, Kobey Layne, has a "Pro-Palestine" section on his website.
On his website, Layne advocates for Minnesota to be banned from doing business with companies that facilitate or sell to "Israeli settlements."
Layne also advocates for the repeal of a state law that bans Minnesota from contracting with vendors that discriminate against Israel.
Klobuchar has been very pro-Israel during her career in the United States Senate. Only recently has she started to change her tune on Israel.
In April, Alpha News reported on Klobuchar's recent pivot on Israel. While the DFL primary for governor could be a nonevent, this is one angle to keep an eye on.

Kobey Layne received 27% of the vote at the DFL convention in Rochester last month.
