Original Note:
Roof was charged in federal court, where-- as AG Loretta Lynch said at the time-- "there is no specific domestic terrorism statute." He was charged with hate crimes instead and sentenced to death. https://theintercept.com/2015/07/22/department-justice-didnt-charge-dylan-roof-domestic-terrorism/ Mangione was charged in New York, which DOES have a terrorism law: https://casetext.com/statute/consolidated-laws-of-new-york/chapter-penal/part-4-administrative-provisions/title-y-1-enacted-without-title-heading/article-490-terrorism/section-49025-crime-of-terrorism
