I know it's just how the courts work but how can it be the people vs him when the people seem to support him. The state vs maybe.
People on Lemmy, sure. But talk to your boomer neighbors and they’ll all say he’s a terrorist.

because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn't really factor into it.
lol “people vs mangione” more like people & mangione vs the corrupt & evil

Nobody really cares about the guy who died, despite corporate media insisting on our sympathy for months. They figured out we can't be fucked about the sorry sonofabitch, so they're hoping we forget about the whole business while trying to censor talk of LM off of all major social media platforms. Sure does help that so much news and social media are owned by the same fuckers.

That's the guy responsible for fixing most of the bugs in civ VI. And there is evidence he did that.
He's also been baselessly accused of shooting some twat. So the federal prosecution is waiting for people to forget about him so they can drag him through a kangaroo court and murder him for political reasons.
I'd have thought they'd want him dead for all to see. See what happens when you touch an untouchable.
It's the sort of thing that could spark a full blown revolution though. Capitalists aren't known for their love of change.
We need more people like Luigi. I mean both people who can fix bugs in Civ VII and people who can fix bugs in american healthcare system.
I don't watch mainstream media, but Status Coup News does follow his case and updates when something happens.
From what I understand, lawyers found a major issue with how he was apprehended. Apparently he wasn't read his rights before they started taking action, so a fair bit of evidence they have against him may need to be thrown out.
Also they decided to pursue the death penalty way too fast, among other injustices.
Issues with the way he was apprehended? I am just shocked.
Are you able to extrapolate a little more, that sounds interesting
There is a general lack of body-cam footage to back up the cops follwing procedures and the timing of evidence being collected is suspect at best.
Overall, there are enough holes in the narrative that was reported to the media that luigi being a scapegoat is not an unreasonable stance.

It is impressive how scared the wealthy elite are of this man and what he did.
He must be aquitted so they finally understand they're not untouchable. Someone might kill them for the shit they pull.
Brian Thompson obviously killed himself.
Release the Thompson files!
And by that I mean: Promise to release the files for years and then decide no one should be prosecuted and say "why is everyone still talking about that guy?"
His name was Brian Unitedhealthcare, right?
I thought his name was John Forprofithealthinsurancecorporation
I'm fairly certain he's still at large.
Takes a while to get a jury together. The legal system is very slow, even in easy cases; and trying to find an unbiased jury makes it even harder.
There will be no truly unbiased jury, this is way too public and polarizing
Fucking CB radio featured Luigi and that's an impenetrable subculture

they will go through a ton of jurors before they will seat one. they needs one dumb enough to be swayed easily by either side. both the defendant and prosecutors are only limited to amount of jurors that strike from a group during jury summons, so they are looking at biases for him and remove them. what they really want is the ones that dont read the news much, or retireers.

Signor Luigi. Señor Luis.
I think the guy he allegedly killed, had a name that started with.... I think it was a d? David? Derek? Dddddouchebag. Douchebag, yeah. I think the person that died was a massive douchebag.
That seems right to me ....
Luigi didn't do it though. He's being set up by the prosecution.
I know, I was certainly spending time with him during the alleged attack. He couldn't have done it while sat across from me at that diner, many miles away from where the crime happened.

The guy that was gunned down by someone was Evil Healthcare Prick.
He's the future highest profile instance of jury nulification.
