Bullets, a gun, $20,000 cash, the same outfit, the files on his computer where he designed and printed the gun mod used to shoot brian thompson, a history of book reviews where he says protests are not enough including one review of the book Deny Delay Defend which mirrors the words carved on the bullet casings at the murder scene of Brian Thompson, and the fact that he was travelling discreetly by bus across multiple states despite having a cushy six figure tech job and being the direct heir to the Mangione small fortune.
We all know he did it.
His rights were violated when he was arrested. Full stop. A string of coincidences and atypical behavior does not a murderer make
I’m so torn by this one… assuming he did it, if it wasn’t about killing the very assuming asshole that got shot, he should not get free because of a technicality. I mean if it was another rando that committed a crime against a lambda not one would cheer about a criminal escaping justice due to a technicality. Or so I hope. But since the guy who was shot down was feasting on misery it’s a very tempting thing to wish for. Personally I would rather that we got the jury thingy where they all agree that no crime was committed instead or something along those lines I don’t remember the specifics about nullification.
I think the "risks" of letting a potential killer go free are reduced if the chances of any sort of repeat crime are distant.
I remember a sitcom spy-hero type show had a dilemma like this. A bad guy offers the good guys a large sum of money they can use to help unfortunate people he victimized, in exchange for them leaving him alone. He's retired, has no plans, or even means, to continue any horrible acts, so it's entirely down to whether they seek retribution for the bad stuff he's done rather than use the opportunity to help and protect people.
I feel like the risks of Mangione killing again after being literally worshipped for killing the first replaceable suit are quite high. His innocent plea is telling that he is not at all repentant.
