    “USA vs Luigi” & “The People vs Luigi”…

    Can someone more well-versed in legalese please explain why the cases were given those titles?

      IANAL, but as I understand it’s “People v” in cases where a state’s DA serves as the prosecutor and “USA v” in cases where a DOJ attorney serves as prosecutor

        So it’s just the same case 3 times and they’ll see what sticks?
