辩方寻求驳回曼吉奥尼案死刑起诉书
摘要
路易吉·曼吉奥尼的律师辩称政治动机和有偏见的公开言论损害了其获得公正审判的权利，寻求驳回联邦起诉书及死刑通知。
路易吉·曼吉奥尼的律师已向纽约联邦法院提交动议，寻求驳回对其当事人的联邦起诉书及政府追求死刑的意图。他们认为司法部和白宫的公开声明损害了曼吉奥尼获得公正审判的权利。
现年27岁的曼吉奥尼面临联邦指控，包括两项跟踪罪、一项使用枪支谋杀罪及一项枪支违法罪。他被控于去年十二月在曼哈顿中城开枪致死联合健康保险公司首席执行官布莱恩·汤普森，现年50岁。
辩方辩称，特朗普政府将曼吉奥尼作为“棋子”以推动其政治议程，引用司法部长帕姆·邦迪指示寻求死刑，作为特朗普总统“恢复”联邦死刑的举措之一。
邦迪在四月将被指控行为形容为“一起蓄意、冷血的暗杀”。
辩方还指出，福克斯新闻的一次采访中，特朗普总统称该事件为“一种病态”，并表示“必须进行研究和调查”。
检方坚持认为，发表这些言论的官员并非起诉团队成员，且在案件中无实际操作角色。他们强调起诉团队独立于这些官员运作。
曼吉奥尼对所有指控均表示不认罪。他的律师还寻求排除他向执法部门所作的陈述，称其在讯问前未被告知权利。
该案件在法律程序中持续引起公众和媒体的高度关注。
