      Stalking resulting in death, is as close to murder as you can get with federal charges. There’s no federal murder statute.

      They’re the same action.

          Ok…. The federal charges carry a life sentence. So not sure what your point is.

          The NY state law is extremely strict and this would kill the state case. That’s not opinion. That’s NY law.
