Snowden was more politically acceptable to pardon than Luigi, so if Snowden didn't even get a pardon for a non-violent crime, Luigi aint ever getting a pardon.
But fear not, we have something better: JURY NULLIFICATION 🇺🇸🦅
NYC do you duty: FREE LUIGI!
Snowden was more politically acceptable to pardon than Luigi
Ohh, I don't know about that... Stealing top secret data, fleeing the country, bleeding it off to Russia directly in a time when we weren't buddies. Throwing tons of it to the press as in case I get killed...
From the Government's standpoint, a healthcare CEO's job is a high-risk profession and the fact that the worst one's don't get offed is the amazing part.
Don't get me wrong, neither one are getting pardoned. But I'm pretty sure they wanted Snowden dead.
The president can only pardon someone for federal crimes. Isn't murdering someone also a state crime?
Then he can't be pardoned
Crossing state lines can make it federal
Dual Sovereignty. Both the federal and state governments can separately try the case. Yes they have two chances of convicting him, acquital from state charges doesn't affect any potential federal charges, double jeoparty rules don't apply.
Luigi can get a pardon for either state or federal, but he can still face charges from the other one.
