So she has directed prosecutors in New York City to seek the death penalty.

I mean, this whole case is a bit unprecedented and as we have seen, with several other federal cases since the Trump administration has taken office, that they're not exactly always following the typical protocols. Mangione's attorneys have filed papers challenging this request to seek the death penalty.
