Honestly the death penalty is cruel. The government should not be executing people.

If I were on the Jury hes innocent. My grandma died from a bad premium.
I doubt the defense would go that route but I'm really curious how it would turn out. Like you're allowed to use deadly force to save a life, and it could be reasonably argued that hundreds, maybe thousands of lives were saved in the aftermath of the shooting.
Realistically there's no way that can be allowed to be a legal precident, but it would be funny to try.
Mostly he'll avoid the death penalty because he didn't do it. Trump's comments just make it a bit easier.
Everyone say it with me, "Luigi Mangione is an innocent man being framed by the government because they were unable to find the real culprit."
#free Luigi
I'm really not convinced that's the case. Either way I want him to walk free. Killing the CEO was the morally right thing to do. That CEO has been part of the system that has murdered thousands/millions out of pure greed.
I agree with you in theory, but I think we should all pretend he's actually innocent
I would vote not guilty no matter what if I was on his jury. Billionaires and major corporate CEOs need to live in fear for how they treat people. They kill tons of people with their callousness and greed.
I bet they will "randomly" find a jury that doesn't think like us...
It's literally self defense at this point.
Stick me on that same jury. Not guilty x2.
one word: jury nullification.
I don't think even that is necessary. The prosecution has been so flimsy that a simple acquittal will do.
This really seems like a scenario where that’s the ideal result. Even assuming he were guilty and the prosecution were able to prove it, he should not be convicted based on the extenuating circumstances of exploitative healthcare costing needless harm and death to millions
Just knowing about this can disqualify you from being on a jury. And lying about knowing about it can get you a jail sentence.
Possession of weed can also get you a jail sentence. What's your point?
The point is that you should probably stop smoking weed cause your brain has become mashed potatoes. If you are disqualified from the jury you can't help anything and if you get arrested for lying they will change the entire jury, considering it completely compromised.
The real point is, stop talking about it. Choose instead to talk about how innocent you think the man is so that you don't risk tainting potential jurors who might be sympathetic to your point of view.
I'm not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.
you should probably stop smoking weed cause your brain has become mashed potatoes.
That's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. You really bought into that fried egg propaganda commercial, didn't you?
or summary judgement.
Aren't those only for civil trials?
Given the general discontent with healthcare it feels inevitable. People identify with Mangione's plight in a way they don't with the money grubbing CEO.
Of course that's possible, but I don't think a judge or an appeals court is likely to determine that the first violation of the judge's order takes the death penalty off the table. Judges almost always bend over backwards to protect the state. If they keep talking now, that might result in some kind of mild sanctions that somehow affect reality in some slight way, possibly.
Really if the state is messing with the jury it should be an automatic mistrial. The reason is so the government learns their lesson and shuts the fuck up and stops trying to influence the jurors. If the judge doesn't do this then of course trump will keep sticking his dick in every legal process that doesn't go his way.
This plus the mishandling of evidence has derailed cases before. The one that comes to mind is Weather Underground. There isn't much doubt that they blew up some monuments and were planning some more. None of them were ever prosecuted because the FBI fucked up.
I was royally confused because I thought you were talking about the website. TIL. Thanks.
