A source in Bragg’s office disputed Agnifilo’s insinuation, and other insiders said the feds were involved in the case very early. The state charges he faces from Bragg’s office include an unusual rap of murder as an act of terrorism, one of 11 counts that a grand jury handed down in a sweeping indictment.

Legal experts said prosecuting the case against Mangione in federal court carries advantages beyond the potential death penalty. And a jury pool in the Southern District wouldn’t just be pulled from Manhattanites, but also prospective jurors in Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties.
