As a British lad, I’ve been keeping tabs on the news about this guy and the wide support he’s getting.
With so much support, surely the public will get him out of jail just to spite the bastard rich kids and their CEO baron fathers?
The Man who was shot allowed a massive corporation to dangle its strings over people’s lives, medication being pulled away which is horrifying to me who uses the NHS as my primary medical service for hearing.
What do you think? Will Luigi “The CEO Reaper” Mangione ever get out of prison?
Unless I’m missing something, the charges have already been made and he’s given his plea. It’s federal charges (terrorism) and it’s my understanding that the state couldn’t then charge him over the same crime, only other crimes that were significantly different.
It’s both state and federal charges; the terrorism charge is a state one
Google “Dual Sovereignty”
(Edit: Wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Jeopardy_Clause#Dual_sovereignty_doctrine)
Even if he gets acquitted/pardoned in either the state or federal, the other can still try the case.
I’m basing this 0on the video of his lawyer yesterday, saying that the state and feds are fighting over him like a football. Maybe it’s been resolved since then.
