Attorneys for Teresa Youngblut, the woman accused in the Jan. 20 shooting that killed U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland, are accusing the Justice Department of orchestrating a fast-tracked path to capital punishment that violates her constitutional rights.

In a June 30 motion filed in federal court, Youngblut’s defense team called the government’s timeline for deciding whether to pursue the death penalty "unprecedentedly tight" and warned it could render the pretrial process "a near-pointless formality."

"This Court should step in to ensure Ms. Youngblut receives a meaningful opportunity to persuade the government not to pursue the death penalty," the motion says.


Youngblut, 21, has been linked by investigators to "Ziz," a fringe, self-described vegan, anti-government, transgender-rights collective that federal authorities say may be connected to multiple homicides throughout the U.S.

So this person kills (allegedly) a Border Patrol Agent, and may be tied to a group that has been linked to multiple homicides.

As for the former, it is a capital crime, and the Death Penalty is a prosecutorial option.

As for the latter, if there is a link, the person is convicted, pursue determining if the group is a murder cult of some sort and consider a terrorist group designation.
