I don't see why it shouldn't be. We're all Spartacus.

How many lives did Luigi save in the weeks afterwards when the health insurance companies took notice?

You could argue that on balance, he was actually saving lives. Just like soldiers do in war. Just like police do in the street.

We also don't know that it was Luigi. It was someone for sure, but Luigi could easily have been framed. Circumstances were a bit too perfect and the chain of custody of the evidence was all messed up IIRC

Not saying it was definitely someone else, but I reckon there's reasonable doubt.

Woah woah woah, use whatever justification you like, but you really shouldn't put criminals and murderers on the same level as actual heroes like Luigi Mangione.

How crazy would it be if he actually didn't do it??

[–] BilliamBoberts@lemmy.world 161 points 1 week ago (5 children)

He couldn't have done it, he was at my house playing halo 3 and drinking game fuel

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I remember that. Frankly, he was a mid Halo player. He was definitely present and not murdering anyone, though.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

(*) he was definitely not executing someone in a justified act of self defence.

Ftfy.

i have never bought into the story that he did it.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

50/50 in my mind.

Like yes police incompetence should be expected, but they broke every rule arresting him, searching his bag, etc etc. Evidence being inadmissible aside, the police did a great job of substantiating our suspicions that Luigi was framed.

On the other hand, this doesn't sound like someone who didn't do it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R7R6dmYOVfc

Like maybe he's alluding to the framing being an insult to the american people. But me personally if I was being framed by the government and desperately trying to get help, I would say it more plainly.

Doesn’t take too much incorrect procedure for a case like this to fall apart

Regardless of guilt

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 54 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

As it should.

The police cornering someone in a McDonalds and "finding" evidence behind a wall of officers with zero transparency is exactly why courts shouldn't admit such evidence.

Maybe if police didn't have a documented history and widely known legacy of false imprisonment, planting evidence, and down right corruption...

If he did, literally all the evidence was faked in a parallel construction so obvious it makes me doubt these people could have managed any other in history. It makes me question whether drug dogs might even be a real thing

I would love to see him get acquitted...then walk out of the courtroom and straight up admit that he did it, to all the media waiting for a statement.

Double jeopardy, bitch!

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 111 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Double jeopardy doesn't prevent him from being liable for civil damages. The family could sue and ruin his life still.

Don't forget how the OJ trial went.

I only saw him dispose of a parasite, no human was harmed.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I mostly remember the billionaire reactions about it.

Musk, Don Jr and others. At first my impression is, why they are so vocal about it, it is unrelated to them, then I realized that they see themselves as a different class (not plebs like us) and in their eyes this was a class war and somebody from the plebs killed someone in the Epstein class scared them shitless.

That's not how Double Jeopardy works. You'd be introducing new evidence which could be used to appeal and retry the case.

Mangione is also open to both federal and state charges. So he's going to go from one courtroom directly into another.

Appreciate this post but can we generally share links to articles instead of just screenshots.

His lawyers and he know exactly what kind of sham trial the prosecution is planning on behalf of their corporate oligarchs. Making it completely transparent is the only chance they have.

They broadcast the OJ Trial, they should broadcast Luigi's trial.

The prosecution is scared shitless that the concept of Jury Nullification will become mainstream, and if the Cirizens realize they can just release anyone they want to, then MAGA won't be able to win their bullshit cases.

They should start using the surveillance arguments here. "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide."

I want to hear the Prosecutors arguments against that.

Need that pic of Mr. Mangione surrounded by cops

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

of course, how else would be able to tell the court he was with various people during the shooting and is being FRAMED.

the court also doesnt want to admit they likely use AI/palantir to identify and locate him, and they "mysterious TIPSTER" at mcdonalds likely dint exist.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 29 points 1 week ago

I understand the prosecution on this one. Luigi is way too hot for television

Think of the economic damage alone, the lost productivity alone...

Of course not. It's much harder to railroad an innocent person under public scrutiny.
