Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I mean sure he killed some worthless fucker, but aren't you still supposed to be punished for that? It's a bit baffling to me there is a possible hope for Luigi to go scot free.
that's not what is said here. The Federal government is prosecuting him and the States of New York and Pennsylvania are prosecuting him too. The lawyer is arguing that's too many prosecutions for the same alleged crime.
To be honest I did not even read the article before commenting. This was meant for the ″Free Luigi″ people.
It’s baffling to me you can see the death of someone who knowingly and willingly denied medical care THAT THEY HAD ALREADY FUCKING PAID FOR to the needy as anything other than “fucking excellent.”
How do you know Luigi did it?
Holy shit we found the one person on the whole planet who might actually be wanted for this trials jury.
The point being that you can't be tried for the same crime by different courts at the same time, one court has to take precedence and run the full process to its conclusion. Also the "Not Guilty" plea isn't to say he didn't commit a crime but that they won't admit "Guilty" to what has been proposed as the crime(s) and then be instantly hit with whatever the prosecution wants, i.e. death penalty. The process needs to play out legitimately, and will likely lead to conviction but of crime(s) and with a sentence that is more acceptable to the defence.
If you shoplifted and then are charged with a laundry list of crimes in addition to and more severe than theft, that would result in vastly more severe consequences, you're probably not going to put in a "Guilty" plea for that list.
