“I think it’s more likely than not that the state case goes away with the federal guilty plea,” said Anthony Capozzolo, a former prosecutor with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and a former federal prosecutor with the Eastern District of New York.

Capozzolo expects New York prosecutors will be blocked from moving ahead “because it’s likely both offenses will be punishing someone for the murder of the same victim and the elements of the federal and state cases are punishing the same harm or evil.”

“Therefore, the offenses will not be deemed different enough to allow New York to continue to prosecute the case,” he said.

New York State has especially strong double Jeopardy protections. Rather than simply protecting you from being prosecuted for the same crime, which in most states equates to the same criminal charge specifically, in New York State, you are protected from being charged more than once for the same “criminal act“, which could be any charge. So they can’t just charge you with something else and try to get you with that instead.

This means that, since Mangione plead guilty to federal stalking charges, New York State can no longer pursue a murder charge against Mangione. Or, at least, that’s what his lawyers are going to try to argue in New York State Court.

Multimillionaire? Are you really that bad at math?

It’s not like she came from money. Do you know what she was before she became a politician? She was a bartender at a Mexican restaurant about a block away from Union Square. I happen to know this personally, because that’s where I met her in 2015: in between classes at university, I walked into that bar, and she got me fucked up on margaritas.

Unless you’re suggesting that I left her millions of dollars in tips that day…

Oh, I agree. It really would be nice if ublock origin light was installed by default.

I prefer uBlock Origin Lite on Safari. I switched a while back because adblock wasn’t catching ads in YouTube.

They have pretty good privacy and anti-fingerprinting stuff in Safari, but not ad blocking— although they do have an odd tool for “hiding distracting items“ that can work as an ad hoc ad blocker of sorts. On the other hand, ublock origin light works wonderfully for me. Both on macOS Safari and iOS Safari.

The trade-off, I think, is now he can now seek a dismissal in the state case due to double Jeopardy rules

The government has submitted a letter to the judge recommending a sentence of 25 to 30 years.

I get where you’re coming from with the “give it chance” vibe, but the writing for STA was so shockingly bad right out of the gate, so directionless, weird, and scattershot, I don’t think giving it more time would be doing anyone any favors.

And now, knowing that they produced seasons 1 and 2 back to back, we’d have to endure an entire season 2 of this before we saw any improvement.

Sheesh M4 Support already? Wow.

While the Apple M4 SoCs aren’t yet supported by the mainline Linux kernel and the Apple M3 series hardware isn’t yet ready for end-users, there are some early elements of the Apple M4 support beginning to come together by open-source developers working on the Apple Silicon support. Sent out to the Linux kernel mailing list were patches for enabling NVMe solid state drive support with the M4.

Oh, still…

How the fuck did I understand this?

You do understand that the majority of MAGA believe their policies help people?

They believe it helps them, and that’s all they care about. Themselves. As far as “people” in general, they couldn’t give less of a shit.
