Defense attorneys for alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione said Thursday in a new court filing that the murder indictment a state grand jury returned against him should be dismissed due to double jeopardy and other alleged violations.

The indictment should be dismissed "because concurrent state and federal prosecutions violate the Double Jeopardy Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause and Mr. Mangione's constitutional rights against self-incrimination, to meaningfully defend himself, to a fair and impartial jury and to the effective assistance of counsel," defense attorneys wrote.

Defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said in the filing that "prosecutorial one-upmanship" resulted in Mangione facing state and federal charges in New York and separate charges in Pennsylvania.

It's an extremely weak case, nearly impossible to win, and they all know it. So they're going to make it the biggest legal circus since the OJ trial.

They'll do what they did in the OJ and Casey Anthony trials - keep them in prison while they drag the entire out as long as possible, and that way when they finally get set free in a couple of years, at least they served some time. Casey Anthony served over 3 years in jail, which is probably what she would have served for accidental manslaughter/ negligent homicide, which is probably what she was actually guilty of.

I mean I don't think the defending attorney would seek a continuance.
