At a June 27 court appearance in St. Paul, Minnesota, accused assassin Vance Boelter commented on jail conditions, as if surprised to learn that the Sherburne County Jail is far from the luxurious accommodations one might find in a hotel.
Represented by public defender Manny Atwal, Boelter—a 57‑year‑old from Green Isle, Minnesota—asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko to postpone his detention hearing, citing severe sleep deprivation and intolerable conditions.
