Attorneys for Luigi Mangione asked a judge to stop federal prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against their client, saying the U.S. government "intends to kill Mr. Mangione as a political stunt."

The motion filed Friday in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District said U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the death penalty to "carry out President Trump's agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again."

Mangione, 26, who faces state murder and terrorism charges in New York, along with federal murder and stalking charges, is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year in New York City.

Remember, if you're selected for jury duty and you know what Jury Nullification is, NO, YOU DO NOT.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

Jury Nullification? I've never heard of it, never once, not even in that popular CPG Grey video.

Isn't it illegal to lie as a jury member?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Remember, if you’re selected for jury duty for a case against a former juror who lied about knowing what Jury Nullification is and you're asked if you know what Jury Nullification is, NO, YOU DO NOT.

State murder. Federal murder. Stalking lol. Why not slap him with jaywalking fine for good measure.

Christ this dude is going to get railroaded so hard.

Wouldn't double jeopardy apply here?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Double jeopardy only applies on same jurisdiction (state and federal are separate) and upon acquittal in same jurisdiction. State can’t try twice, and federal can’t try twice.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

That certainly violates the spirit of the law.

They want to silence him, but I don't think they will be able to.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They may succeed in silencing him, but they will never silence his supporters, which grow by the day. He is already a martyr.

As far as I'm concerned he's an American hero. A real patriot that took injustice and tyranny into his own hands.

He’s so dreamy, my Luigi could do no wrong

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Feels like this case is less about justice and more about setting an example—whether that’s political or public theater. Death penalty or not, the timing and narrative definitely feel curated.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Absolutely. This will be a show trial that will eclipse even the OJ trial, and will lead to a lot of civil unrest, whether he's found guilty or not.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it was apparent it was more political, and example the moment the witchhunt began. especially with the clown adams escorting his perpwalk.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

The first time i saw that perp walk photo, it had a caption like "Jesus walking to appear before Pilate, accompanied by the Roman Praetorian Guard." And that was EXACTLY what it looked like.

I love it when their clumsy propaganda gets stolen by the Resistance.
