Alleged assassin Vance Boelter, accused of murdering former Democratic Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman, her husband and their dog, and of attempting to kill Sen. John Hoffman's family, was ridiculed in court Friday for complaining about jail conditions.
Boelter's public defender told the court that his 57-year-old client had been on suicide watch since his arrest on June 15, a claim Boelter himself denied. His arrest followed a two-day manhunt, described as the state's largest ever, according to Star Tribune, after he was accused of targeting multiple Democratic public officials in a politically motivated attack.
