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.
Yeah 100% agree with the /s. Im not entirely serious but tell me what I wrote doesn’t seem plausible. Saw the size of that man hunt or media attention after shooting? Wouldn’t happen for normal folks.
Well cause no one knows who the killer is. Unless there is someone claiming “it was me”, dude is gone. its not about justice itself but the perception that murdering an elite class will not go unpunished. So Luigi could be wrong place wrong time.
This actually happened to me once. Was almost taken in because cops thought I looked like the person they were looking for. Thank God I had my ID and another cop actually cared.
