Death Penalty Sought for Agent's Killer | JQJO

The Justice Department will seek the death penalty against Teresa Youngblut, accused of killing Border Patrol Agent David Maland in Vermont. Youngblut, linked to the Zizians group, a radical collective, is charged with murder of a federal officer and related firearms offenses. The Trump administration's push for more federal executions spurred this decision. The shooting occurred on the day President Trump lifted the moratorium on federal executions. Youngblut's attorneys have previously requested a delay in proceedings.
