    How insane would it be if he got off due to a technicality. Not holding my breath, but here’s hoping.

      Alec Baldwin got off because of screw-ups like this. Seems like when there’s a high profile case, all the big shots who normally don’t do any work all want to jump in and be involved. And then make stupid mistakes because they don’t have any real experience because they’re normally too important to work a case.

    oh I absolutely believe the allegation as plausible.

    They NEEDED a fall guy for this and they NEEDED it to be so cut and dry that they could quickly make an example of him.

    Even if Luigi DID do it? This is railroading for the sake of trying to scare everyone else to stay in place.

    Really appears like they planted a backpack full of evidence on this innocent person, cops were desperate for a win

          I dont remember the exaxt words. It wasn’t an admission of guilt if that’s what you’re asking. It was a rant about healthcare or capitalism, or both, and whatever it was, an average jury member would probably see that as incriminating since an innocent person probably wouldn’t have yelled that out at that time.

          Yes, lots of people have a beef with health care and capitalism. But his bahavior at that time was suspect.

            “It’s completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people”? Comes up if you search Luigi Mangione shouting

              Yes, that was it. I guess I took “it” to be the healthcare situation, but I guess it could mean anything. Still, his yelling is sounded like a protest, and the killing itself definitely was. All I’m saying is, it doesn’t sound like the words a random person would yell out to reporters on his way into court.

              You could argue that “it” is his arrest. But that doesn’t make much sense with the rest of the sentence, imo. I can’t tell what the reporters might have asked before he said that. One said, “Did you do it?”, I think, but his reply doesn’t make sense to that. At least one other one said something else that I can’t hear.

                it makes complete sense to most of us, because it IS an insult to our intelligence that the cops think we will believe Luigi did it after the way this was handled.

        He is going to regret that for a long time. If he had screamed “I didn’t do it” instead, he would probably be out already.
