Luigi Mangione’s lawyers attack Pam Bondi for having transformed his arrest into a “ movie Marvel ” which fatally

Fees of a legal victory which eliminated the accusations of terrorism in the case of the murder of the state of Mangione, his lawyers now fight so that his federal affair was rejected, entering the declaration of the US prosecutor Pam Bondi before his April accusation which shocked America. “”

Bondi’s statements and other official actions – including a very choreographed perplexed walk that saw Mangione led a Manenan pier by armed officers, and the bafouage by the Trump administration of established death penalties – “violated this case of Mr. Mangione’s death,” argued in a fatty file.

Mangione’s defense team, led by the former Manhattan prosecutor, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, implored the American district judge Margaret Garnett, person named by President Joe Biden, “to correct the errors made by the government and prevent this case from continuing as a lawsuing against the death penalty.”

Defense says that “politics, not merit,” made the decision of the death penalty

Bondi announced in April that she directed the Federal Prosecutors of Manhattan to ask for the death penalty for Mangione. It was the first time that the Ministry of Justice said it brought a capital case after President Donald Trump returned to the post on January 20 with a commitment to revive federal executions, that his predecessor Biden had suspended.

Mangione’s lawyers argue that Bondi’s announcement – which she followed with Instagram publications and an appearance on television – showed that the decision was “based on politics, not on merit” and, they said, his remarks embarked on the process of the great jury which led to her indictment a few weeks later.

Trump, who supervised an unprecedented series of 13 executions at the end of his first mandate, offered his own opinions on Mangione Thursday – despite the judicial rules which prohibit any preliminary advertising which could interfere with the right of a defendant to a fair trial.

“Think of Mangione. He shot someone on the back, as clear as you look at me or I look at you. He pulled – he looked like a pure assassin,” Trump told Fox News.

“There is a high bar to reject an indictment due to preliminary advertising,” the mangione lawyers wrote in their 114 -page file. “However, there has never been a remote situation like this where the prejudices were so large against a defendant eligible for death.”

Federal prosecutors have October 31 to answer. Mangione must return to court in the federal case on December 5, a few days after the start of preliminary hearings in his state affair. No trial date has been set for both cases.

Mangione, 27, pleaded not guilty to accusations of state and state murder.

Duel of prosecution, rejected charges and dedicated follow -up

The surveillance video showed a masked shooter firing on Thompson, 50, from behind December 4, 2024, when he arrived at a Manhattan hotel for the annual investor conference of his business. The police say that “delay”, “deny” and “deposit” have been scribbled on the ammunition, imitating a sentence used to describe how insurers avoid paying complaints.

Mangione, the Ivy League educated scion of a rich family in Maryland, was arrested five days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 230 miles (about 370 kilometers) west of Manhattan. The authorities say he had a 9 mm handgun and a notebook describing his intention to “Wack” an insurance manager.

Mangione lawyers argue that simultaneous proceedings represent a double danger.

In the federal case, Mangione is accused of murder thanks to the use of a firearm, which carries the possibility of the death penalty, as well as offenses in hunting and firearms.

On Tuesday, the judge of his state case rejected the accusations of terrorism which brought the possibility of a prison sentence with compulsory perpetuity without parole. But judge Gregory Carro rejected the request of the defense to fully reject state prosecution, claiming that the dual incrimination argument is premature because none of the cases have been judged or led to guilt.

The state affair will make other accusations, including an intentional murder leader who includes a potential 15 -year punishment in life imprisonment, with the possibility of parole. Unlike the federal system, New York does not have the death.

Mangione attracted a cult as a replacement for frustrations with the health insurance industry.

A few dozen supporters – mainly women – wrapped three rows at the rear of the courtroom during her hearing on Tuesday before the State Court. Some wore green, the color of the video game character from Mario Bros., Luigi, and a woman sported a “Luigi” t-shirt.
