Someone just donated $50,000 to support Luigi Mangione's legal fund

Basically to me it's like this: If there's no evidence to convict Luigi then that means he's innocent, therefore, free him. If there's evidence to convict him then he's a hero, therefore, free him.

the people who belong in jail are the healthcare CEOs
- And the President, plus most of his posse.
I don't think the person that was arrested is the person who shot the healthcare guy. I think the cops grabbed a convinent person and planted evidence.

It will be very strange if jury nullification doesn’t happen.

I bet they do everything in their power to keep this from actually going to trial.
- How long can they hold him without a trial?
I think it’s more likely that the jury will vote to acquit just based on lack of evidence combined with police misconduct (and incompetence).
The evidence they’ve publicly talked about is both itself fishy and has chain of custody issues.
Normally they’d be able to get away with that because most defendants can’t afford good legal representation and most cases don’t get much scrutiny.
In this case, however, I think those issues completely sink the prosecution’s case and he’ll be acquitted just because the jury won’t believe he’s guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
- If at least half of what his lawyer claimed is true and able to be proven in court, he has a decent chance.
- The way it’s described sounded like he was on his way to the next one. Why else would you carry all of that with you?
  They didn’t Miranda him. Maybe they didn’t want to Miranda him.
- This is assuming that everything you've just described is permitted into evidence.
Luigi is innocent. Just from looking at the pics, the brows are different. Luigi didn't do it. Jury nullification is not needed. A simple acquittal is all that is needed.
- Conspiracy time, but it could be why they're taking so long to move forward.
  Gotta wait until all the "documentaries" that say Luigi did it circulate enough to pollute the jury pool enough to convict.
The jury will be told that they have to find according to the letter of the law, and they'll almost certainly be screened by the prosecution during jury selection to avoid people who know nullification is a thing.
It's certainly possible that it could occur regardless, but they'll do everything they can to avoid it.
- Prosecutor: Potential Juror #5. Are you aware of the concept of Jury Nullification?
  Juror: I am now.
- How do you screen for jury nullification without informing everyone as to what jury nullification is?
- Defense has as many strikes as prosecutor....
12 jurors all being aware of it and wanting to do it is extremely unlikely, unfortunately.
- Only one juror needs to be aware of it before the deliberation, the hard part is getting everyone to agree to it. Repeated trials with repeatedly hung juries would almost be better though
- My jury experience was not confidence inspiring. Granted, it was not high profile. It was a civil case that drug on for a week. Essentially, there were three of us that lead the decision by force of personality. Everyone else was waiting to go home.

What a load of shit that they file the case as "people of NY against luigi." It's not the fucking people that have a problem with him, it's the parasites desperately running from the guillotine of consequences.

You're not smart.
- You're an asshole.

My guess is Bill Burr, based on nothing scientific.

Burr seems like the type of guy that wouldn't hesitate to say it was him, in a good way.
"Yeah I donated it. I donated so he'd have a fucking chance. Fuck those guys. LADIES!" or something like that.
- Didn't Bill say that Billionaires should be hunted down like rabid dogs or something?
- I read that in his voice and it worked perfectly. You nailed it.

man, team trump is fucking desperate to change all the news to be about anything but the fact that Republicans refuse to release the list of pedophiles Donald Trump is on.

I bet he's going to start WW3, it's the only thing distracting enough

self defense against the 1% killing us isn't terrorism. free him

I think his best defence now would just be for everyone to start following in his footsteps. They are going to execute him no matter what
- One luigi per ceo

Support heroes like Luigi.

"It's-a me, Mario!"

How much is $50k in legal money? Are we talking a game changer or enough to cover lunch?

He doesn't really need the money for the legal bills. His family has a good bit of money. But the gesture is nice and the money could be used for other things if they don't use it.
- A bronze statue?
- I know he comes from money. But I thought he was kind of on awkward terms with them. Are they actually supporting his legal defense?
More than lunch, not a game changer.
Imagine $325-$500 an hour (I know this is general and broad).
I'm guessing (completely without any knowledge) that it buys more lawyers able to work on the case.
I'm also curious what it really does.

Some cool ass guy

Not all heroes wear capes 💚

Based

If I win the lottery, id throw a couple hundred grand at him....

😂

Explain it like I'm five. Why are the funds such a big deal? Paying lawyers doesn't make the lawyers better at their job to my knowledge, it just makes the lawyers better paid. For better or worse, I'm guessing the judge will be the one getting the last word.

Also, he's from a rich family, correct? Why not take from them?

Someone doesn't want to be the next...
