A Minnesota man has been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison for the murders of a prominent Democratic lawmaker and her husband, and the attempted murders of a state senator and his wife, a little over a year after the politically motivated attacks.
Vance Boelter, 59, received two consecutive life terms plus 40 years after pleading guilty in June to six counts related to the killings of House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.
