On an unrelated note, I wonder if Snowden would come back after a pardon now that he’s a Russian citizen.

Karen Friedman Agnifilo will represent him in New York. Friedman Agnifilo previously worked as the chief assistant district attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office under Cyrus Vance Jr. for seven years and is a veteran with deep experience in New York City’s criminal justice system. She has worked in private practice since 2021.

“She’s got as much experience as any human being, especially in the state court,” one longtime New York prosecutor told CNN. “She knows every corridor, every judge, every clerk in the courthouse.”

Honestly, if I were picked for jury duty…. I would be way compromised for this case. Innocent! 💯

To get a conviction they’re gonna have to get 13 billionaires to serve jury duty.

Jury nullification. Guilty but no punishment.

If you say it, you’ll likely be removed from the jury.

Screw jury nullification. I want the governor to give him a full pardon.

The implication that knowing the people is more important than knowing the law is actually kinda worrying.

I think it’s interesting that they’re only trying for second degree.

New York was one of the first states to bring back the death penalty so alongside it they made the definition of first degree murder very narrow. it includes killing a cop, murder for hire, and murder as an act of terrorism (they could probably technically argue for that one but I’d imagine theres clear precedent against it).

death penalty was abolished again in 2004

killing a cop

Weird how one civilian killing another somehow has a different meaning just because of the jobs they work. Seems pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. If it was going to be a harsher penalty(,) then I’d expect it to be a(n) actually beneficial job that people should respect like a pediatrician or janitor.

(edited for grammar)

I’ve always found that so stupid yeah. “Cop killing” is always painted as this ultimate evil and so much worse than killing a regular person, especially in all the copaganda shows. But theoretically the whole reason cops have so much legal leeway and can use so much force and whatnot is because they’re taking on a risk by putting themselves in the line of duty (even though you’re actually more likely to die as a pizza delivery driver).

Legal Eagle had a video about the indictment, first degree in NY requires an intensifying factor, standard murder is only 2nd degree.
