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.
But didn’t punish him so it was meaningless
Probably should have said that instead then, rather than talking about not convicting.
I see no meaningful distinction
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 :)
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.
Not your job to see who you’re responding to either obviously. Why you so angry ? Chill.
