Alleged gunman faces nine charges including second-degree murder in New York state case

Luigi Mangione is due to appear in Manhattan state court on Monday for the first day of a potentially weeklong proceeding to weigh the legality of evidence gathered during his arrest after the killing of a prominent healthcare executive.

Mangione was apprehended last December in the murder of senior United HealthCare figure Brian Thompson last December. In addition to state-level charges, he faces a Manhattan federal court case.

Thompson’s brutal slaying on the streets of New York city triggered an intense manhunt for the killer, but also sparked an outpouring of anger at the practices of the US for-profit healthcare industry. Since his arrest Mangione has attracted some enthusiastic supporters, both online and at his court appearances.

Basically it's people saying:

Prove it

Because the government cant/won't say how they are so sure it's him

Couple that with how the wealthy never face consequences in our justice system due to their ability to pay money to lawyers.

And the fact that people want this to be decided by the letter of the law isn't extreme by any means, it's literally the point of law. And why people are (rightfully) outraged that they're trying to include terrorism charges.

It's just the cops fucked up so much, they're not going to be able to legally prove anything.

It's OJ all over again

Difference is OJ murdered his ex wife he regularly physically abused and her lover.

Luigi wasn't there to begin with. He was chilling at some other dude's house the whole time.
