US EditionVermont Judge Refuses to Delay Death Penalty Decision for Zizian Charged in Border Agent’s Death
CHITTENDEN COUNTY, VERMONT, JUL 22 – Judge Christina Reiss denied an extension to present mitigating evidence before the July 28 deadline in the death penalty review of Teresa Youngblut, 21, charged in a Border Patrol agent's death.
- A federal judge in Vermont denied Teresa Youngblut's motion to extend the discovery deadline in her case concerning the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent David Maland on January 20.
- Youngblut faces a July 28 deadline regarding the death penalty, even without a charge for a crime eligible for that punishment.
- Her attorneys claimed the timeline imposed by the government is 'radically inadequate' and 'extraordinarily rushed.'
- The judge expressed concern over prosecutorial procedures but emphasized that the charging decision is ultimately at the discretion of the prosecutors.
