The public prosecutor calls on the judge to refuse the offer to delay the decision of the death penalty to the deadly shootout of the border representative

The public prosecutor calls on a federal judge to reject an application from Teresa Youngblut's lawyers in order to delay their decision-making process to check whether they collect the death penalty in the fatal shooting of a American border protection officer in Vermont.

Youngblut's lawyer filed a registration last month before a federal court in Burlington to apply for additional time later this month to provide mitigating evidence of your customer's name.

In a 17-page registration this week, the public prosecutor's office replied that judge Christina Reiss should not grant Youngblut's defense team an extension from the deadline of July 28 that the public prosecutor had set.

The request of the defense, the prosecutors wrote, would “violate the separation of the violation of power” and “violate the exclusive discretion of the public prosecutor's office against the exclusive public prosecutor to decide whether (to describe a crime of death) or to apply for the death penalty in this case.”

The government process to determine whether the death penalty should be obtained, “is an internal process in which the accused has no natural right to go beyond the invitation of the executive,” added the prosecutors.

Reiss still has to decide on this matter by Wednesday afternoon.

The 21-year-old Youngblut from Washington, who was also injured in the shot on January 20 in the north of Vermont, has been kept in custody since receiving treatment for injuries to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, New Hampshire.

Youngblut has already been accused of firearms and body understanding of the federal government, which are due to the shooting to Interstate 91 in Coventry, in which the US border protection officer David Maland was killed. After court records, Maland carried out a traffic stop on a vehicle that had driven young blood that afternoon.

During this interruption of traffic, Youngblut came out of the vehicle after accumulation documents and opened the fire, which led to a change of shooting with law enforcement authorities at the scene.

Maland was killed at the shootout, as did Felix Baucholt, a German citizen who was a passenger in the vehicle, the Youngblut drove.

Youngblut was not specially accused of having fired the shot in which Maland was killed. The federal authorities, who led the investigation of the fatal shootout, have refused to confirm who fired the fatal shot in which Maland was killed.

In their last submission this week, the prosecutors stated a similar summary of the shootout as in previous court applications and again did not directly state that Youngblut had fired the fatal shot. Instead, the prosecutors wrote like in the past that he was killed in an “exchange of shots”.

Youngblut and Bauckholt allegedly had connections to a group of people who are known as “Zizian”. Members of the group were connected to several other murders across the country, including California and Pennsylvania.

Youngblut's defense team has argued that a meeting required by the public prosecutor, which it was too early with the U.S. General Prosecutor's Capital Review Committee, was too early. They asked for the meeting to be pushed back by at least January 2026.

This committee shoots up cases and gives recommendations to the US general prosecutor's office as to whether charges are charged with the death penalty.

In her response to the case of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, which was sentenced to the Boston Marathon bomb attack in 2013 and sentenced to death, in which three people were injured dead and hundreds.

In this case, the prosecutors, lawyers from Tsarnaev, demanded additional time to submit mitigating evidence before a decision on the death penalty.

“When the public prosecutor rejected the defendant's application,” wrote the prosecutors: “The court recognized that the accused was given the opportunity to present the possibility of the accused for the accused, information and materials for the examination of the internal considerations of the department, but was not required by a constitutional, statutory or decisive legal state.”

The public prosecutor's office in the US law firm for Vermont, who edited the case through a speaker, rejected the recent registration on Wednesday.

Steven Barth, a Youngblut lawyer, could not be reached for a comment on Wednesday.
