To play Devil's advocate, the bottom one was offered a plea deal. That's different than not pursuing the death penalty.
That's kinda the point. Why wasn't Mangione offered a plea deal?
Also, why did the DOJ intervene and add the federal qualifier of "murder in furtherance of an act of terrorism" to Mangione's charges in order to put the death penalty on the table (NY state doesn't have the death penalty), but didn't add it to the charges of the guy who murdered 23 Hispanic people specifically to terrorize the Hispanic community?
