How long until trump pardons him since he killed Democrats not Republicans.

Federal charges, so that's possible. The state of Minnesota could charge him again.

They probably should until trumps out
Edit: or wait until he's out then re-charge

They have, hearings were deferred until the federal sentencing finished. First hearing August 3rd :)

If I were the state, I'd wait, and dare Trump to pardon him. The moment he does, slap him with the state charges and hold him in prison without bond.
Let Trump show his cards, or fold.

Seems about right although I also oppose the death penalty. He went on a demented yet calculated rampage. Had he not been stopped he would have kept trying. Should be some forewarning to the crazy b.s. I see out and about online
