Summary
Sam Beard, organizer of Luigi Mangione’s legal defense fund, claims the dramatic “perp walk” resembling Hannibal Lecter’s treatment backfired on New York authorities, boosting donations to over $743,000.
Mangione, charged with murder and terrorism for allegedly killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, received heightened security during extradition, drawing public sympathy.
Critics argue the campaign glorifies violence, while supporters emphasize fair trial rights.
Mangione, who pleaded not guilty, faces the death penalty if convicted.
It would be really funny if the jury nullifies (like so hard it’s an acquittal, not just hung so they have to do another trial), and then he went and shot another scumbag CEO.
I would nullify again
Nah, if he somehow got his life back we shouldn’t be continuing to look at him to save us. He already did his part.
Obviously he’s innocent and being framed and therefore should be found innocent, but if he gets out he’s going to be watched like a hawk. He’ll have a whole team dedicated to his surveillance. Again, super innocent, didn’t do it.
