The federal complaint filed Thursday charges Mangione with two counts of stalking and one count each of murder through use of a firearm and a firearms offense. Murder by firearm carries the possibility of the death penalty, though federal prosecutors will determine whether to pursue that path in coming months.

In a state court indictment announced earlier this week, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office charged Mangione with murder as an act of terrorism, which carries a possible sentence of life in prison without parole. New York does not have the death penalty.

Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, said it’s a “highly unusual situation” for a defendant face simultaneous state and federal cases.

“Frankly I’ve never seen anything like what is happening here,” said Friedman Agnifilo, a former top deputy in the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

Unfortunately it’s becoming more common, and it is legal

I understand the overlords have requested this guy get every charge and penalty that he can, but they have to understand that the general population sympathizes with him on some level.

The overlords don’t have to request shit, Eric Adams already gave them the keys.

This is the Forbes profile entry for the NYPD commisoner’s dad, she’s never worked in law enforcement before btw

You may notice this part:

James is CEO of Loews. His brother Andrew and cousin Jonathan are co-chairmen.

Loews is active in insurance, drilling rigs, natural gas pipelines and hotels.

The NYPD commissioner is the daughter of a billionaire CEO that’s active in the insurance industry…

Absolutely no one had to request she act like this
