BREAKING: New York Court Tosses Terror Charges Against Mangione. “In the end, this really belongs in a federal court anyway. The DoJ can pursue this as a domestic terrorism case if they choose; at the moment, they have not yet escalated it to that point, but AG Pam Bondi has already ordered prosecutors to seek the death penalty. After this ruling, we can probably expect the DoJ to push for an accelerated trial schedule to eclipse the New York state courts and settle this matter for good. Once the DoJ wins a conviction and sentence — which would be a minimum of life without parole — Judge Carro’s courtroom will be nothing more than an anti-climactic sideshow.”
