    The IMPORTANT thing is to KEEP using RANDOM ass UPPERCASE in CLICKBAIT title SENTENCES. That is NOT at ALL irritating.

    Police misconduct allegations could unravel this case—constitutional rights aren’t optional.

    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.

      How would it benefit the rich to have the real killer running lose while a random guy goes to jail??

      This is the weirdest conspiracy so far.

      It’s him, he did it, and praise him for doing it, he’s a legend. Neither he or his lawyers are denying it.

      It’s super weird that people on the Internet are insisting it isn’t him

        Oh I ABSOLUTELY am of the belief that it is him. However, I find it strange that so much proof was supposedly found on him to the point that he might as well have been standing in time’s square shouting that he did it. There was no need to backtrace through his history, go through his home, interview friends or family. It was all There.

        That is what strikes me as … too convenient.

        They don’t want to go to the trouble of having this long drawn out process. They want thier gunman handed on a silver platter both to please the corporate overlords, and to show that they are competent.

        …when they are anything but.

          Oh for sure they fucked around and made sure to plant as much shit to make sure he doesn’t get away with it, there’s definitely corruption around his case but yeah it’s him

        The rich could have already discovered the real culprit and assassinated him quietly, rather than risk technicalities in court.

          And if Luigi gets off on a technicality in court, the message isn’t sent. Putting up a fall guy while assassinating the “real” culprit quietly is nonsensical, especially because if Luigi is a fall guy (he isn’t), that increases the likelihood that he gets off and ruins the whole thing.

            oh I ABSOLUTELY believe Luigi did it.

            I just find it strange that everything to convict him was conveniently close to hand. The immediacy of it all feels like something out of a police proceedural more so than documented cases where it takes weeks or months even when it is fairly clear who did what so a case can be built.

        Not that I buy the fall guy conspiracy, but getting someone, anyone quickly could stop the copycats. They’re more worried about him being a trend setter then a repeat offender.

        Not the rich, but politicians, police leadership, and DAs.

        They don’t want to talk about how murders can go unsolved and crime unpunished in the cities they manage and protect.

        They want to demonstrate that when they show up in force they are able to quickly solve a crime and bring a criminal to justice. One, so they can keep getting elected and two so that others don’t think they can get away with committing crimes.

        The DA will want to push a conviction so that they look tough on crime for their political campaigns. Often times withholding evidence that might harm their case.

        I don’t know if it happened in this case, but it has happened before where police will railroad a suspect to get a conviction even if there is clear evidence they couldn’t have committed the crime.

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

      On the flip side, if they illegally discover evidence but can prove an alternative, legal, way it could be discovered it becomes admissible. That’s sometimes why they do it.

      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.

      It may be a great way for the state to avoid a “not guilty” verdict.

      His getting off a technicality doesn’t make it clear he has support.

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

                Pretty revealing that you remember him yelling something that proved his guilt to you but you don’t remember what it was.

                Maybe examine your own biases and what kind of track record law enforcement has with regards to respecting individual rights and the presumption of innocence.

                That sounds exactly like something an innocent person would say to me.

                It (my arrest and trial for murder) is completely unjust (because I am innocent) and an insult to the intelligence of the American people (because there was is no real evidence)

                I think it’s wildly optimistic with regards to the intelligence of the American people, but it’s a totally plausible thing to say.

                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.

        As far as I know, the lawyers have not confirmed that it is him.

        But in any case, that’s beside the point of the “weird ass conspiracy”. To spell it out a bit more clearly, the actual idea is that there is “not enough evidence” to convict - because he should not be convicted. (In a jury trial, you cannot just say “guilty, but should be unpunished”; but you can say “not guilty, due to insufficient evidence”.)

        I really don’t care what anyone says, I will not reject the evidence of my eyes and ears. The guy who did the praxis, the guy who was smiling in that security footage, and Luigi Mangione are very clearly three different people.
