The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension initially said it was partnering with the FBI to investigate. But state authorities said Thursday they had been notified by the FBI that they would no longer have access to “case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews.”
Two things - one, can they not have two different prosecutions, one at state and another as a federal felony? And while justice needs to be done, going full out as a federal case and having it dismissed or even pardoned would certainly be more gasoline on a fire that hopefully doesn’t go out soon.
I’m not for capital punishment, but whatever route it takes, I hope this guy never sees sunlight again.
They can charge him with both federal and state crimes that overlap, resulting in trials at both levels, but that’s not necessarily the winning strategy, and the interworkings of various agencies when it comes to dual state and federal charges is a complex subject.
But for myself, if this guy is charged at the state level I fully expect the DoJ to come in with federal action of some kind very quickly thereafter. Not to prosecute, but to sabotage the state level proceedings. They won’t have a choice: in order to continue recruiting for ICE and to keep the thugs they already have on the payroll from quitting, both of which are necessary to continue ramping up domestic unrest so as to impose martial law, they (DHS, DoJ, ICE) have to be seen to insulate their own hires from criminal repercussions.
Personally I am all for vigilante retribution. Ideally he’d be convincted only to get whatever mush constitutes an ICE agents brain boiled due to “faulty” tempature controls in his cell.
They need to make sure it’s done at the state level, since the demon in the WH will just nullify any outcome and let the murderer get away with it.
Minneapolis ICE shooting updates: State denied access to evidence
😡
If no proper justice is going to happen, I’d be very nervous if I was that murderer.
Most especially if his real name is revealed and it’s certain that it is the right identity.
“Johnathan Ross,” apparently
MURDERING Motherfucker!
Agreed, the bar is so low that I’ll be surprised if something is done on any level

EDITED to add link to the comment of someone who put it more cogently than I just did:

I wish I lived in the area. I’d drive past his house slowly.
Happy little accidents.
