Vance Boelter state trial delayed until May 2027

A judge has delayed the state court trial start date until next year for Vance Boelter, the man who has already been convicted in federal court in last summer’s lawmaker attacks.

Boelter’s trial is now slated to begin May 10, 2027, a Hennepin County judge said Monday.

Boelter’s defense team had asked for more time, saying they cannot be ready because of the “exorbitant amount of discovery.”

The court’s decision comes days after the judge issued a gag order in Boelter’s case, restricting him, witnesses, and any victims from speaking to the media or the public about the case.
