💨 Abstract
Vance Boelter, accused of a politically motivated shooting spree in Minnesota, faces potential federal death penalty charges. The shooting targeted Democratic lawmakers, including former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman. This is a rare federal death penalty case in Minnesota, which abolished the death penalty in 1911. Federal prosecutors took the lead from state prosecutors, leading to tensions between the two jurisdictions.
