The trial of a Democratic Minnesota state senator accused of burglarizing her stepmother's Detroit Lakes home is set to start with jury selection Monday.

Sen. Nicole Mitchell is facing charges of felony first-degree burglary and possession of burglary or theft tools for the alleged break-in on April 22, 2024.

Mitchell's trial was set to start on Jan. 27, but she successfully petitioned to delay proceedings until after the legislative session on June 16. Her trial was then delayed following the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses.
