The article says why the death penalty is no longer on the table — because the federal murder and weapons charges were dismissed, and the remaining charges do not qualify for capital punishment.

The article does not say why the charges were dismissed, though.

no they dont say why, not here. apparently the cops acted like the 4th didnt exist, so the backpack contents were disqualified as evidence.

federal stalking charges have stuck so now life in prison is on the table.

I actually think it's so bad in our country right now that if someone showed up at the court and snuck a gun in and shot Luigi in the back and killed him ... THAT guy would definitely get the death penalty. (he should, but so should Luigi)

It's all political at this point.

If they did it in a federal court? Probably. If they did it in the state court? Probably not. New York doesn’t have the death penalty.
