Luigi Mangione retains high-powered New York attorney as he faces second-degree murder charge
Karen Friedman Agnifilo will represent him in New York. Friedman Agnifilo previously worked as the chief assistant district attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office under Cyrus Vance Jr. for seven years and is a veteran with deep experience in New York City’s criminal justice system. She has worked in private practice since 2021.
“She’s got as much experience as any human being, especially in the state court,” one longtime New York prosecutor told CNN. “She knows every corridor, every judge, every clerk in the courthouse.”
Honestly, if I were picked for jury duty…. I would be way compromised for this case. Innocent! 💯

Jury nullification. Guilty but no punishment.
To get a conviction they’re gonna have to get 13 billionaires to serve jury duty.
She knows every corridor, every judge, every clerk in the courthouse.
The implication that knowing the people is more important than knowing the law is actually kinda worrying.
Insert always has been meme
I think it's interesting that they're only trying for second degree.
New York was one of the first states to bring back the death penalty so alongside it they made the definition of first degree murder very narrow. it includes killing a cop, murder for hire, and murder as an act of terrorism (they could probably technically argue for that one but I'd imagine theres clear precedent against it).
death penalty was abolished again in 2004
killing a cop
Weird how one civilian killing another somehow has a different meaning just because of the jobs they work. Seems pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. If it was going to be a harsher penalty(,) then I'd expect it to be a(n) actually beneficial job that people should respect like a pediatrician or janitor.
(edited for grammar)
Legal Eagle had a video about the indictment, first degree in NY requires an intensifying factor, standard murder is only 2nd degree.
Thinking of running for high office? Looking for a hook for your campaign? Run for governor of NY on a campaign pledge to give Luigi a full pardon. You would win in a landslide.
It worked for Trump. One of his pledges was to pardon Ross Ulbricht.
All I know is if that rat fucking "kids for cash" judge deserves a pardon, Luigi sure as hell does.
I hadn’t realised they came in different power levels. Or do they all come with the same power, but only unleash what you pay for?
They choose which super-saiyan level to activate based on your annual income
Cmon Luigi, you can beat these charges like you beat King Boo.
Ah! Sukah sukah!
wait, second degree?
