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?
They won’t have even decided if these are state or federal charges by the time Biden is out of office. And if he’s pardoned on the federal charges, the state can still charge him

It’s not double jeopardy to be tried for the same crime in two jurisdictions.
Read about Dual Sovereignty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Jeopardy_Clause#Dual_sovereignty_doctrine
Basically, the Federal government and State government(s) are different Sovereign entities, both can charge for the same crime, and hold separate trials. “No Double Jeopardy” clause doesn’t apply here. Even if Luigi were acquitted/pardoned by either the Federal or State government, the other can still try the case for the same crime. It’s already an established legal precedent.
good point about the separation of federal and state charges.
oh well, that’s how far that wishful thinking goes.
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.

Even if he gets acquitted/pardoned in either the state or federal, the other can still try the case.
It’s both state and federal charges; the terrorism charge is a state one
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.
