    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?

      The high powered ones are tethered right into the high voltage lines. Normal ones use standard 120V outlets. The rejects use AAA batteries.

          Have some vague semblance of a working justice system? A very vague one, but at least I’d a decent impersonation

    If the coverage don’t pay, you have to say nay?

    If the the premium don’t fit, you have to acquit?

    If the insurance lie, you have to get by?

    What is the catchy phrase to use here?

      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)

          I’ve always found that so stupid yeah. “Cop killing” is always painted as this ultimate evil and so much worse than killing a regular person, especially in all the copaganda shows. But theoretically the whole reason cops have so much legal leeway and can use so much force and whatnot is because they’re taking on a risk by putting themselves in the line of duty (even though you’re actually more likely to die as a pizza delivery driver).

            If you view cops as mostly there to protect the interests of the rich, it makes a lot more sense. Being a cop gets special privileges because it’s the singular most important job to keep poor people from taking from the rich.

      Legal Eagle had a video about the indictment, first degree in NY requires an intensifying factor, standard murder is only 2nd degree.

    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.”

      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.

      Nobody can confirm this is an actual legal fund for him. Who is the December 4th committee? Are they non profit? Are they obligated to give him the money? There’s a lot of scams popping up.

      Until it’s confirmed by a reliable source, I would encourage everyone to hold off on donating.

        NBC news just did an article on this.

        I see these donations as a media-buy by the people. I frankly don’t care if a dollar of this actually goes to his defense fund. I want this fundraising to be the story. As the number goes up the media outlets will cover it and keep this story going. That alone is worth the donation.
