Deep State bigfooted this case for control.
Why does Deep State need to do that...
Because the Black man who would make the case is going to be thrown out to the wolves
New York no longer has unbiased reliable governmental law
Gary Lee Sampson was an American bank robber and later spree killer who killed three people and was sentenced to death by a federal jury in Massachusetts. Sampson was a Federal fugitive, who called the FBI in Boston and told them he was going to kill someone if they did not pick him up. It was Friday afternoon, and not only did the FBI not pick him up, they did not even call the local police.
Massachusetts has no death penalty, so the Feds took over, citing Federal authority in carjacking cases. Predictably, Sampson died a natural death in prison, 21 years after the crime he was sentenced to die for, ten years after his first death sentence and six years after the second death sentence.
The closest thing to eternal life on this earth is a Federal death sentence.
