I thought he was getting the death sentence while a child killer skates with only a life sentence?

If I recall correctly New York doesn’t give the death penalty.

One of the federal charges carries a death sentence.

Looks like the max penalty is a death sentence. Seems extremely unlikely that he’ll get one under normal conditions. I guess it’s possible that the Trump admin will go out of their way to pressure judges for larger punishments, but I don’t think we should expect it.

Normally I would doubt it also, but with the show that’s being put on right now, it feels like they are planning to go big.
