wait, second 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.”
Honestly, if I were picked for jury duty…. I would be way compromised for this case. Innocent! 💯
Well don’t say that out loud.

Jury nullification. Guilty but no punishment.
But also you’ve never heard of jury nullification.
If you say it, you’ll likely be removed from the jury.
If you know about it, you don’t say you know about it at jury selection.
Screw jury nullification. I want the governor to give him a full pardon.
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)
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).
I need that bumper sticker
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.
The system will always protect itself.
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.
Yeah, let’s pardon all criminals, what could possibly go wrong?
Ask Russia, they got experience!
TIL one guy is all criminals.
If you mis read anything can be anything
Luigi isn’t a criminal, if he did the shooting, then he acted in self-defense against a known mass-murderer
You’re kidding right? Self defense? How?
Yes, the CEO is a mass murderer, still makes Luigi a criminal murderer because -and I can’t believe I have to explain this- TWO WRONGS DONT MAKE A RIGHT
What you’re doing is mental gymnastics to justify something that is obviously wrong and it’s something I see way way way too many people do. What you’re doing is the exact same shit that that killed CEO does when he justifies his killings only that guy likely knew he was wrong, you don’t even seem to understand that part of it
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.
Damn imagine what standard lawyers could do in Europe with 230v
Have some vague semblance of a working justice system? A very vague one, but at least I’d a decent impersonation
Has she reached her final form?
I always thought it was more of a Goku vs. Krillin kinda thing.
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!
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?
If the healthcare is shit?
Delay deny depose has a nice ring.
His claim got denied,
So his actions are benign.
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.
On an unrelated note, I wonder if Snowden would come back after a pardon now that he’s a Russian citizen.
Russia can keep him, he’s one of those “Long enough to be the villain” situations
He’s still a hero, you petulant nationalist goon. Go gargle Georgie Soros balls, you absolute footstool.
Username checks out
He’s a bitch boy who was probably Putin’s lapdog all along.
I see a nationalist lapdog right now. Time for some nuclear testing in this removed.
What, you think Snowden went to Russia because he wanted to? EHR!! Wrong again, genius. He went to Russia because that’s about the only place extradition treaties with the US does not extend, and Putin went for it to get brownie points with the common folk of the world - because he wants people to worship him like the new Alexander the great.
Read up about the history of the NSA, the CIA and the FBI. Learn how the Kremlin is cute in comparison and learn how the US elite has a history of subverting and persecuting whistleblowers to solidify the protection of institutionalist powers. It’s what makes Putin so jelly, because he wishes he had that kind of power and influence across the world.
I don’t blame Snowden for not wanting to become another statistic. I blame idiots like you though for pretending you know wtf you’re talking about, when really you’re just sniffing at the crotch of soft US imperialism, because it doesn’t occur to you that all forms of imperialism - be it US, Russian, Chinese, European, etc - whether it soft or hard are all equally narcissistic, paranoid, stupid and destructive, even if it makes your microdot hard as you wave your little flag like the good boy you are.
So go off, serf, but you’ll get no headpats here. Suckle at the feet of your masters - you treacherous little imp. I bet you/you’d vote/voted for Trump because he’s your Alexander the great.
I’m as progressive as it come. If you’re willing to break the law because you think it’s the right thing to do you should be willing to accept the consequences, not run off to a foreign enemy state. What he exposed would have stayed in the news far longer if he went to trial got convicted and people were rallying to have him freed. I don’t believe he did what he did for altruistic reasons. He’s no hero to me.
