Luigi Mangione is a random person who attacked corporate America. Therefore, he is utterly fucked. Whatever anyone does to help him, ultimately his fate is already sealed.

He did the math and decided that one moment of action was worth more to him than it cost. The rich of America need to see that vast wealth inequality leads to more and more people coming to the same conclusion. That's why they will make sure he is sentenced to death, to let us know what the cost will be. But a life lived in misery is only worth so much, and death is the worst they can do.
The thing though, once a person make this decision, they no longer fear death
That person is very dangerous

The capitalists are in charge, but they are also utterly fucked.
The last thing you want to do with a spartacus-type enemy is to make them a martyr. They already fucked up by parading him around with those guards while he looks like the second coming of Christ. Nailing him to the cross is not going to solve any of their problems.
Politics aside. The court is not going to grant bail to anyone accused of first degree murder who is a flight risk. And given the current narrative seems to be that he shot a man in NYC and was found in another state. I'd say they'd consider him a flight risk.
The ruling class doesn't want him martyred but they want him killed so very much.
My bets are he is given a life sentence with a groomed jury and he is extrajudicially executed in prison by an unknown agent.
Making bail is the least of his concerns in there. He will be lucky if he doesn't get "Epstein'd".
His haircut and shave are signs the other prisoners are sending to the guards that this man is protected and not to fuck with him.
The only resource I can find about this phenomenon is a threads discussion about Luigi. You wouldn't happen to have an alternate source, would you?

Last I read, he has not requested bail. They wouldn't let him out, anyway, and he's smart enough that he knows it--he attacked the ruling class and they want to make an example of him.

on the wishful thinking side, biden pardons. also wishful: innocent until proven guilty, and that the evidence was planted.
but yeah, we will just have to wait on how the proceedings go. UHC has already flexed money in subduing luigi awareness merch.
They won't have even decided if these are state or federal charges by the time Biden is out of office. And if he's pardoned on the federal charges, the state can still charge him
good point about the separation of federal and state charges.
oh well, that's how far that wishful thinking goes.

Wishful thinking would be if the killer struck again while Luigi was in jail.

The US is an oligarchy. Your worth as a human is directly tied to your monetary worth, starting at $1M. So no.
It would be a shame if a few people in NYC started posting signs on every corner with a brief description of jury nullification and a QR code with a link to explain it further until the trial is over.

Doubt it very much. Bail is for the rich. An example must be made.
You think the poor plebs have any power over the matter? This your first almost incitement of revolution that goes nowhere?
