That includes the killings of former DFL House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, as well the attack on DFL state Senator John Hoffman, his wife, Yvette, and their daughter, Hope. Under terms of the plea deal, Boelter will spend the rest of his life in prison. More than a hundred men serving time at Rush City prison are boycotting the canteen to protest prison conditions. A federal judge has denied a request from independent journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort to release grand jury transcripts in their case. Target Field food and beverage workers announced they will strike on June 22 — during a game between the Twins and the Los Angeles Dodgers.","meta_description":"A sentencing date is pending for Vance Boelter after he pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges stemming from last June’s attacks on Minnesota lawmaker…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":311,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/minnesota-today-413993/episodes/federal-judge-denies-request-from-journalists-don-lemon-and-georgia-fort-to-release-grand-jury-transcripts/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/minnesota-today-413993/federal-judge-denies-request-from-journalists-don-lemon-and-georgia-fort-to-release-grand-jury-transcripts.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
