Luigi Mangione officially accepts $300k for legal defense
The 26-year-old Ivy League grad is set to appear in New York court later this month
“We’re thrilled that Luigi is accepting these funds so that he can mount the strongest defense possible,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement. “The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt. It’s no surprise that Luigi’s alleged actions are understood and supported by tens of millions of hard-working Americans.”
This sounds weirdly phrased. He pleads not guilty because he didn't shoot the CEO and not because he thinks that shooting the CEO shouldn't be a crime, right?
Yeah so this quote isn‘t by him or his lawyers, it‘s from those running the fundraiser. I do think calling themselves "legal committee" is confusing too and why I didn’t trust it until now, but it does seem like they are truly in contact with the lawyers to get that money there at least.
You plead not guilty because they have to prove you did it beyond a reasonable doubt. If they messed with the evidence (it looks like they did) then that evidence will be inadmissable. Plus the jury could still find him not guilty.
Which part is confusing you? Healthcare is out of control. And Luigi is not guilty.
Edit: I heard he plead guilty which is not the case. A lot of what I say presumes that was how he plead. Leaving up my comments for completeness of record
I mean, ol' boy is def guilty of murder.
I think the question is how much was it justified (i.e. what degree of murder charges should he receive) and what's a reasonable punishment for what he did.
Alleged actions. So, people want to come to his aid so the system doesn’t make another innocent victim. Perhaps it even shines a bigger light on the systemic issues.
Maybe they're arguing self defence?
Luigi did nothing wrong if he did anything at all.
The state has so far did a lot of propaganda but not a lot of proving his guilt. Let's see what they bring before the jury.
pretty sure luigi was at my school that day anyways
