(20,877 posts)but murder is a state charge.
LeftInTX
(32,761 posts)He is being tried for murder in both the federal and state case. The federal govt uses a cyberstalking charge, not terrorism.
The federal government only has a statute for international terrorism.
For instance: Boston bomber was convicted of:
Use of a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death (18 U.S.C. § 2332a) (2 counts)
Use of a weapon of mass destruction (18 U.S.C. § 2332a) (4 counts)
Conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death (18 U.S.C. § 2332a)
Bombing a place of public use resulting in death (18 U.S.C. § 2332a) (2 counts)
Conspiracy to bomb a place of public use resulting in death (18 U.S.C. § 2332a)
Maliciously destroying property resulting in death (18 U.S.C. § 844) (2 counts)
Conspiracy to maliciously destroy property resulting in death (18 U.S.C. § 844)
Carjacking resulting in serious bodily injury (18 U.S.C. § 2119)
Use of a firearm during a crime of violence resulting in death (18 U.S.C. § 924) (9 counts)
Use of a firearm during a crime of violence (18 U.S.C. § 924) (6 counts)
Interfering with commerce by threats or violence (18 U.S.C. § 1951)
The media will call people like the boston bomber a domestic terrorist, but he wasn't charged with it because that statute doesn't exist.
New York added terrorism charges so they could charge him with first degree murder. In New York, premeditated murder is not considered first degree. 2nd degree would have allowed him out in 15-20 years. Maybe they could have tagged a different charge to get it up to 1st degree? Maybe the untraceable firearm? (Who knows?)
(xiii) the victim was killed in furtherance of an act of terrorism, as
defined in paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section 490.05 of this
chapter

Trump needs to be stopped some way or another. He fully intends to be a tyrant.

Although, just to note... MANY now chant Extremism in defense of democracy is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.

I have no idea how he "saved the country", because it's in much worse shape than it was on Dec 4th.
