    I am also against the death penalty, and I’m just not sure what this comparison brings. They’re not even being prosecuted by the same people.

      That comparison would be more valid if the Federal Government hadn’t stepped in to add terrorism charges to Mangione’s case in a state that doesn’t have the death penalty.

      They literally could be tried by the same people, except the federal government does not see killing 23 minorities as bad a crime as killing one rich white guy.
