Defense attorneys for alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione said Thursday in a new court filing that the murder indictment a state grand jury returned against him should be dismissed due to double jeopardy and other alleged violations.
The indictment should be dismissed “because concurrent state and federal prosecutions violate the Double Jeopardy Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause and Mr. Mangione’s constitutional rights against self-incrimination, to meaningfully defend himself, to a fair and impartial jury and to the effective assistance of counsel,” defense attorneys wrote.
Defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said in the filing that “prosecutorial one-upmanship” resulted in Mangione facing state and federal charges in New York and separate charges in Pennsylvania.
I mean sure he killed some worthless fucker, but aren’t you still supposed to be punished for that? It’s a bit baffling to me there is a possible hope for Luigi to go scot free.
that’s not what is said here. The Federal government is prosecuting him and the States of New York and Pennsylvania are prosecuting him too. The lawyer is arguing that’s too many prosecutions for the same alleged crime.
To be honest I did not even read the article before commenting. This was meant for the ″Free Luigi″ people.
It’s baffling to me you can see the death of someone who knowingly and willingly denied medical care THAT THEY HAD ALREADY FUCKING PAID FOR to the needy as anything other than “fucking excellent.”
Holy shit we found the one person on the whole planet who might actually be wanted for this trials jury.
