Man charged with killing former Minnesota House speaker is due back in court after delay

  • Vance Boelter is scheduled for his second federal court appearance Thursday at 2:30 p.m. in St. Paul, addressing charges including murder and attempted murder.
  • On June 14, Boelter, disguised as a police officer in a fake squad car, targeted Democratic lawmakers in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, with motives linked to political beliefs, prosecutors say.
  • Boelter faces murder, firearm, and stalking charges, with his attorney citing poor jail conditions and Boelter stating he hasn't slept in over two weeks.
  • The federal court hearing will decide if Boelter remains in custody without bail, as his attorney requested a continuance citing sleep issues, with probable cause to proceed.
  • Prosecutors must secure a grand jury indictment before arraignment, with federal charges potentially carrying the death penalty if Boelter is convicted.
