Wat we eerst wisten
- Payton Gendron is already serving life without parole for the Buffalo supermarket attack. The federal government is nevertheless taking him to trial with a different punishment in view: execution. In-person jury selection began on October 13, 2026, in a prosecution that must still establish federal guilt before a death sentence can be considered. The existing state judgment is not a federal verdict.
