A federal grand jury isn't a replacement for a regular federal trial jury. They're completely different things. A grand jury decides if there is a strong enough case to take the charges to trial, or if they should just be dismissed. When a grand jury isn't used, the trial judge makes that determination themselves. I agree that the terrorism charge will affect how the trial is conducted, but I don't know enough on that topic to comment further.
That's true but the way that a federal jury works is very different.
It allows them to choose people from outside of the area in which the crime occurred.
Making it a federal trial jury instead of a state trial jury allows them to charge this single murder against an individual perpetrated by another individual who made no public statement with a much more severe crime than the state laws that he broke would normally allow.
It's also important to note that making it a federal trial makes it less public as there will be no cameras allowed. They don't want him tried in the state of New York because that could legally be televised which is a bad look when you've already got judicial homicide lined up and the trial is purely performative.
Being that they can choose people from all over and that the process of jury selection is even more opaque at the federal level they can make sure there won't be any nullification issues.
The way they are treating Luigi whether or not he's guilty indicates that it's not relevant whether or not he's guilty. They legitimately don't care, this is about sending a message that the poors don't get to fight back.
