[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Do we know how he will be tried? They just now caught him. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Zorque@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago Unless a federal agency steps in for some reason, it's likely to remain a state matter. It's entirely possible that someone at the federal level would try and make it federal jurisdiction just so the shooter can be pardoned, but I doubt it'd have legal precedent. Which means it's likely to be denied on a judicial level. permalink fedilink source parent
