In his first court appearance to answer to state murder charges, convicted political assassin Vance Boelter made the bizarre request that Sen. Amy Klobuchar be compelled to testify in his case. In a statement, Klobuchar said there was no evidence she could find of having ever met Boelter. If convicted of his state crimes, Boelter would face mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole. At his first appearance, there was no indication that Boelter is pleading guilty to his state charges. He was convicted of murder in state court and of violating Floyd's civil rights in federal court.
