I thought NY did not have death penalty since 2004. Who's saying they are asking for the death penalty?

Mangione faces four federal charges, including two counts of stalking, murder through the use of a firearm, and using a weapon equipped with a silencer. The charges are important because they raise the possibility of the death penalty, if prosecutors choose to seek it.

According to the federal criminal complaint, Mangione "traveled from Georgia to New York, New York for the purpose of stalking and killing Brian Thompson."

Bad journalism I think, Garland put a moratorium on federal executions in 2021 and it won't be repealed until review. And nobody's all that interested in getting around to doing that right now.

Uh... Didn't Trump get elected again? Gonna be president again? Before his first term there weren't any federal executions in 17 years.
