This is exactly the only reason why they threw on federal charges. New York doesn't have the Death Penalty, so he would have gotten life in prison without parole most likely.
So did Imgur get hacked? Everything's in Comic sans (or something?) and all upvotes turn to downvotes...like WTF is going on people...do I need to clear my browser history and block Imgur for a while or WTF?
Also...to stay on topic...fuck Pam Bondi. What a cunt.
DOJ is federal. This case is at the STATE level. The DOJ should have no say or influence on this whatsoever.
But this is life in the fascist autocracy that Trump and Republicans have created. The DOJ is run by Pamela Bondi, who has been Trump's PERSONAL LAWYER. Can you say "BIAS" boys and girls?
I'm asking how many received instruction from Trump and his staff. CNN was only able to find one case where Trump and his gang ever did, and it was a guy who drove a U-Haul through a crowd.
They desperately need to make an example of him so they aren't next. Every attempt at character assassination against him in the media has failed, so all they have left is to try to kill him for real
With how our system is set up, he'll be sitting on Death Row for a couple of decades. By then, it will be out of sight, out of mind. With how things are devolving, he might be the first or many national televised public executions.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, never gonna happen. They'll only maintain the pretense of a fair trial up until the last minute when they are no longer 100% sure they can convict. They will go through the motions, try to put a finger on the scales, but if he has an even half decent lawyer this will be at best for them a tossup when it comes to chances of a conviction.
And then he'll disappear in the middle of the night, "in the interest of national security", never to be seen again.
Luigi should be Time magazines person of the year. Not that orange shit stain sitting in the oval office finding ways to hurt people in between rounds of cheating at golf.
Lessons learned: Do your murder in state, and don't cross state lines.... which is weird because Rittenhouse crossed state lines, but didn't go to federal court, even though it was under Biden.
Ah that's what you meant by it. And yeah, Rittenhouse murdered people too, yet is toted as a 'hero' of the rightwing. While Luigi murdered one man who was responsible for the deaths of many, and is toted as a hero of the commonfolk, regardless of their political affiliation. The difference is, as I said, CEOs bought the government, and making it okay to kill them even if they're horrible people, means that the politicians won't get their money from their CEO sources, fuck Citizens United.
"We could totally just call up and get you back as well seeing how we set up a deal with the prison for millions but we will just pretend we are incompetent and cant"
"the murder took place in public with bystanders nearby, may have posed grave risk of death to additional persons," the statement said." No, it's very clear there was 1 objective
Theoretically speaking He could have OKC the conference if he wanted to. But he was concerned about collateral damage. That’s why he chose that method. To minimize collateral damage.

How about seeking the death penalty for the traitor Trump and the other foreign agents?

I hope this backfires and generates more Luigis

Classic DOJ bullshit, if it's just a normal person, it's Ok for them to die, if it was a rich fuck, it grips their heart and seek out justice.

The parasite's "young children" were 16 & 19; they lived with their mother in a residence separate from him at the time of his demise.

He can't be prosecuted while running.

remind me of the punishment for other killers who have killed dozens of people??
JonSnowAKAAegonTargaryen
How often did Trump's administration pursue the death penalty for other murderers, and school shooters?
Questionmorality
Can you cite any school shooters that weren't tried for the death penalty? The ones I looked up like N. Cruz were attempted but jury said no

That said, I also think this guy here will get a jury that will be incapable of a unanimous death penalty conviction. He'll get life at best
AnonOmis1000
Most murderers don't get the death penalty, regardless if their victim had a family or the murder was done in public.

They desperately need to make an example of him so they aren't next. Every attempt at character assassination against him in the media has failed, so all they have left is to try to kill him for real

Turning him into a martyr would bring more power to his cause than anything else
METROlD
But, New York doesnt even have a death penalty.
FishieStardust
Federal overrides state laws
CoachMcgurl
Isn't it federal because he crossed state lines to commit the killing?
EroticZombiePants
Which is why there are federal charges, so they can kill him as an example.
CaldariBob
They can't have folks just wandering around & killing rich people...
sparachiodi
And they get a martyr and a hero out of him. Not the smartest move, but hey, not the smartest people up in there, so...

Not if they force him to with a plea deal, they do it all the time and switch it life in prison.

Yeah when Google published that year video summary...it just seemed so obvious that Luigi was intentionally omitted.
lmgursLibertarian
Why is it a federal case?
siegfriedwatson
Because CEOs have bought the government, and the politicians don't want to lose their cashflow.
lmgursLibertarian
No like, what is the basis for it being a federal case? did he cross state lines?
lmgursLibertarian
Yeah, he went from Atlanta to NYC.

Funny in the country I grew up in our government used to say things like “allegedly” and “supposedly” because there hasn’t been a verdict.
Did I miss the entire proceedings?

Remember. Its ok if they kill YOU because of ignorance, negligence, or just pure evil.

also, police kill innocent bystanders all the time because of their own incompetence and malice

ActionJohnnie
May have is reasonable doubt
beeeeeees
Fair but I don't think the death penalty should be on the table for a "may have"
CoachMcgurl
But isn't the death penalty because it was premeditated murder? Isn't that what makes it 1st degree and a potential for a death penalty?
ahleron
No, but it is. And if the defense can establish reasonable doubt, that erodes the prosecution's case
ActionJohnnie
The prosecution has reasonable doubt. They wrote the may have.
Questionmorality
I don't think the death penalty should be on the table for anything because the state ought not to be allowed to decide it can kill citizens

That said, we don't live in my magic utopia. He meets all the criteria for capital punishment: 1st degree murder, premeditation, terrorism.

The words he used on the bullet casings leave a simple threat: Insurance companies must change their practice or face more assassinations.
