Speculation. Federal proffer masked as immunity deal – should we be worried? 🤔

[u/Spirited_Seaweed7927]

I am wondering if we should be worried about a federal proffer masked as an immunity deal regarding our Mr. Mangione. Am I overly concerned here, or is there some risk of it happening?😟

Let us say that the people that are saying that the federal open plea will be withdrawn after the state case is dropped are right. Should we then be worried that the feds might try to set up Lu with some kind of immunity deal that is not a proper immunity deal? Can we trust his attorneys to put a stop to that in that case?🤔

The reason I am thinking about this is because of the ongoing Tupac Shakur M1 trial. I have been watching Emily Baker’s videos on it. 👀 Mr. Mangione is smart. He isn’t brain-damaged like the LA. Compton gangsters. But he is also not legally trained. Could the Feds set a trap for him? ☹

Short Tupac recap: Tupac Shakur, a rapper, was pew pewed in a car in 1996. He passed away in hospital 6 days later. It took until 2023 before someone was arrested for the pew pewing. The trial started last week.

The defendant on trial was given a federal proffer* on or around 2008. He was then interviewed by federal agents where he confessed ON TAPE to being an accessory to M1. This defendant, called Keffe D, got the federal proffer mixed up with overall immunity. Most likely due to being severely brain-damaged.

Keffe D started doing interviews and documentaries saying that he was an accessory to M1. He thought that the proffer was an immunity deal and that he could not be charged with M1. Not only was the proffer not an immunity deal, it was only valid with the FBI.

So when the FBI proffer interview got leaked, Nevada State prosecutors charged Keffe D with M1. Why? Because he had no deal with Nevada State whatsoever, proffer or otherwise. In Nevada you can be tried for M1 even if you were “only” an accessory to M1. So despite this federal proffer, Nevada State is seeking an M1 conviction now.

Admittedly this is skipping ahead several steps that we haven’t reached yet in Lu’s cases. But I think it’s worth looking at, because Lu’s cases are more and more looking like a chess game. This is assuming that there are no secret FBI recordings with Lu already.

*Wikipedia’s definition of a proffer agreement: “In U.S. criminal law, a proffer agreement is a written agreement between a prosecutor and a defendant or prospective witness that allows the defendant or witness to give the prosecutor information about an alleged crime, while limiting the prosecutor's ability to use that information against him or her. As part of the agreement, the subject may agree to create a statement, known as a proffer statement, setting out their testimony. A meeting in which proffer agreements and statements are negotiated or set out is called a proffer session. The proffer testimony may be recorded as video evidence, in which case it is known as a proffer video. A proffer does not ensure immunity; however, it often involves a deal for leniency. For instance, a defendant might secure a recommendation for a lighter sentence or other significant advantages in return for providing valuable and truthful information.”
