minus-squarePugJesus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agoJesus fucking Christ. What useless grandstanding on the Feds’ part. The original deal, which would reportedly have spared the alleged attackers the death penalty, was criticised by some families of victims. Of course. It’s an election year. Can’t be ‘soft on terror’.
minus-squareWilly@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agoA lot of the families are for this deal, but it’s a hard sell politically so the trial will continue for many years to come. May never end.
minus-squareFundMECFS@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 months agoIsn’t the death penalty federally postponed anyways
