A man accused in the shooting and political killings in Minnesota is scheduled to change his plea in federal court in Minneapolis after federal prosecutors announce they will not seek the death penalty. According to U.S. attorneys, the decision is set out in a proposed plea agreement involving Vance Luther Boelter. Prosecutors say he is facing federal charges connected to the killing of the top Democratic lawmaker in the Minnesota House and her husband. The case also includes allegations that he wounded a state senator and the senator’s wife in related attacks. Multiple outlets report that the government’s decision not to pursue capital punishment is part of the terms of the agreement. The defendant is expected to appear before the court to formally enter the new plea, following his earlier not-guilty plea. The reports describe a change-of-plea hearing in the near term, with the death penalty authorization explicitly directed to be withdrawn by the Attorney General’s office. The announcements focus on the scope of the charges and the procedural next steps in federal court.
