I think those were state charges

These are Federal, and since Trump brought back the death penalty for Federal crimes, they're trying really hard to kill this guy

i don't understand the law. is it only a federal charge because thompson was rich? why is killing 23 ppl including 14 kids a "state charge" but killing a single dude needs the federal government involed?

It's the rich and powerful looking to avenge their own

The system laid bare

I don't know the circumstances but if he (allegedly) crossed state lines to (allegedly) do it that makes it a federal issue. If he didn't then yeah they're just throwing the book at him transparently
