00:00 Federal prosecutors in the United States said on Friday that they will seek the death penalty
00:05 against a white supremacist who killed 10 black people at Buffalo supermarket in 2022.
00:12 Twenty-year-old Peyton Kendron is already serving a sentence of life in prison with
00:17 no chance of parole after he pledged guilty to state charges of murder and hate-motivated
00:22 domestic terrorism in a 2022 attack.
00:25 New York does not have capital punishment, but the Justice Department had the option
00:31 of seeking the death penalty in a separate federal hate crime case.
00:35 The decision marks the first time that President Joe Biden's Justice Department has authorized
00:40 a new pursuit of the death penalty.
00:43 On May 14, 2022, Kendron drove more than 320 kilometers from his home in rural Conklin,
00:52 New York, to a Tops friendly market in Buffalo's largely black East Side neighborhood, where
00:57 he shot 10 people and wounded three others.
