Yeah he's still got his state trials and Pennsylvania still has the death penalty. This looks like his defense wanted to try and get the state charges dismissed under the 5th amendment.

Pennsylvania still has the death penalty

The CEO was killed in NYC, so I don't think any serious charges could happen in Pennsylvania? I can't tell from a quick glance at his Wikipedia article. It seems that there is a PA case against him, but I couldn't find the charges. They focus on the NY and federal cases, which I would imagine are the more serious ones. I would expect that the charges in PA would be secondary ones like maybe possession of illegal firearms, etc. From what I can tell, only the federal case had the possibility of the death penalty.

He didn't commit any capital offenses in Pennsylvania though.
