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.
Has be considered running for office? Then they can’t convict him for fear of looking politically biased. That’s how that works, right?
Yore onto something, it’s a strategy that’s never failed in America
Think that only covers crimes like sedition, treason, fraud and serial rape.
But they convicted trump……
But didn’t punish him so it was meaningless
Probably should have said that instead then, rather than talking about not convicting.
Bit picky aren’t you. I mean yes you’re correct but no need to get on your high horse about it. Have a great day.
I responded to exactly what you wrote. It’s not my job to read your mind and know that you actually meant something else. Cheers :)
Not your job to see who you’re responding to either obviously. Why you so angry ? Chill.
To be picky, they never finished trying him for the important crimes of Jan 6th or all the classified documents he likely sold. They just dropped them as soon as he won the election.
I see no meaningful distinction
Well he was convicted, so saying that they wouldn’t convict someone who is running is wrong.
Technically but that’s being extremely pedantic. The clear point was its a way to avoid consequences
Well only if he ran as Republican, but they would rather suck CEO cock.
TBH he could be a Republican for all we know. He didn’t exactly go after lobbyists or legislators who created and protect the healthcare industry, just went out and shot a guy working within it.
