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.
My name was randomly generated. Also “injustice” isn’t really applicable here, at least not yet.
Double jeopardy doesn’t work like this. Nothing is stopping him defending himself. The jury issue is real, but in his favour thanks to the left trying to make a murder it to be a hero.
Which “left”?? You mean politicians? The wealthy? The hate for him crosses party lines with few exceptions.
Regular people though? That’s a different story. Not sure it is mostly people leaning left though. It wouldn’t be the first time GOP supporters licked the boots as they press against their necks, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Isn’t the party motto like “Pls tread on me sirs!” or something?
