Any state conviction of Boelter for the attacks on two Minnesota lawmakers and their families is immune from a presidential pardon. “There’s a very strong state interest in pursuing the charges on behalf of the state of Minnesota, given who the victims were and are to the state,” she said. Boelter spoke following victim statements, apologizing to “every person I have caused loss, pain, heartache, confusion, sadness, shame or loneliness” — though his apology largely fell on deaf ears as many left the courtroom. Minnesota has no state death penalty, though proceedings will determine whether any state sentence runs consecutively or concurrently to Boelter’s federal sentence. State prosecutors asked Monday to keep Boelter detained at the Hennepin County jail, while his defense requested he be returned to the Sherburne County Jail.
