Teresa Youngblut is accused of firing at Border Patrol agent David Maland during a traffic stop. She is associated with a cultlike group tied to multiple killings. Youngblut's lawyers seek a six-month delay on the government's decision regarding the death penalty. The current charge only involves using a deadly weapon. Her defense claims that the timeline set by the government is inadequate and rushed, with significant due process implications. Youngblut has limited time to prepare her case and counter the death penalty consideration against her.
Youngblut's lawyers argue the government has set a "radically inadequate" and "extraordinarily rushed" timeline for deciding on seeking the death penalty, leading to significant due process concerns.
Currently charged only with using a deadly weapon against law enforcement, Youngblut's defense contends that a new indictment is forthcoming, but with little time for adequate preparation.
