Payton Gendron pleaded guilty to state charges in the massacre of 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket. He still faces separate federal hate crime charges.
Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder Jr. asked lawyers at a status conference in the federal case Friday why they were devoting time and effort to evidence related to Gendron’s guilt when he has already pleaded in state court.
The department has not initiated any new efforts to seek the death penalty since President Joe Biden took office and there is a moratorium on executions. But the department has not sought block the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston from supporting the death sentence for marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Judge Schroeder said he would give the defense until March 10 to review discovery and start preliminary talks with prosecutors.
