    You do realize that accepting a plea deal to avoid the death penalty is only possible if prosecutors seek the death penalty?

      We only have the headlines to go off but it looks like the prosecution have offered the Texas guy a plea deal but haven’t offered Luigi one.

      That means that the death penalty was technically on the cards but it doesn’t mean that they were actually going to go for it.

        It’s pure speculation what deals are or aren’t being offered Mangione. I’d be surprised if he isn’t offered one at some point.
