The way I see this going is

Mangione wins his initial case on the issues you highlight.

Theres a big legal slapfight.

Ends up in front of the supreme court.

Trump makes a public statement about how dangerous people like Mangione need to be found guilty and executed.

Shortly after the statement, the Supreme Court abruptly declares Mangione guilty.

Trump holds a public execution within a month. Possibly profiting off it by selling tickets to his billionaire backers.

It's actually standard procedure called "parallel investigation".

The usual jargon is "parallel construction," in case somebody wants to look it up.

because they found him illegally

Remind me again on what illegal method(s) were suspected to be used?

Jail? The orange turd has been pushing for execution since day 1 of the case.

It's some "eye in the sky" tech the government doesn't want us to know they have yet. This is based purely on vibes.

Luigi was with me the whole time.

Doesn't look remotely like the guy in that original mugshot they were flashing around.

He was eating dinner with me in Estonia the evening that CEO died. He only flew back to the US after that.

It was just a corrective market force.

This BRUTAL ASSASSINATION of a poor little innocent ceo who definitely didn't profit on the corpses of thousands of people who were denied healthcare specifically because of his own intentional policies. This precious baby ceo was MORDERED in COLD BLOOD by this bloodthirsty ~~mass~~ murdering ~~immigrant~~ ~~minority~~ who hated him because FREEDOM and the BRAVE and BOLD decision of the ceo to allow poor people to be able to CHOOSE to die via paperwork ~~as a weapon~~. Surely this ceo who's name we can't find for some reason is smiling down on his beloved healthcare industry from the heaven that definitely exists. We hope the ultra powerful and scary ~~mass~~ murderer Luigi Mangione gets the JUSTICE the people of this country are clamoring for.

Yeah, it was as brutal as any other shooting. Do cops shooting kids ever get described as "brutal"?

It's not like he was beaten to death with a tire iron, or denied treatment and left to a slow and agonizing death that also leaves your family in ruins.

Meanwhile our president bragged on the campaign trail that he could stand in the middle of a NYC street and shoot someone and not lose any voters. We have federal agents brutally slaying innocent people on streets across the country while being treated like heroes.

He tripped.

Whathhearings?

A clean, point blank shot to the head is just about as un-brutal as it gets, as far as non-consensual deaths go

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

People are questioning it because the initial CCTV pictures of the murderer do not match Mangione's features. They look similar enough for it to be pulled in as evidence - and further supported by the items confiscated from him during his arrest, but then again people are questioning the legitimacy of those things too - but the differences are visible enough for even a mid tier lawyer to argue that the CCTV recording is not of their client.

In addition to some alleged incongruity of the evidence, I think a lot of people actually think he did it but they want him to get away with it/don't think what he did was wrong, and throwing mud in the water is a way to show support for him, albeit a somewhat disingenuous one.

He didn't do it because I did.

Looks like I'm going to get away with it, too ;)

sounds like he really did it but very well could get off on a technicality

This is a suppression motion for unlawful search and seizure. To call this man's 4th amendment rights a "technicality" is some Law and Order copaganda bullshit.

These suppression motions are already very difficult to win. Mr. Mangione will have to show not only that his rights were violated, but also that the cops would not have found the evidence through a different, legal means. So if he does win, it will not be "on a technicality." It's just the system ensuring that everyone's constitutional rights are respected.

Part of it is that people are idiots and think if they keep saying "He didn't do it, wink wink" it will mean anything (other than internet points (on a site that doesn't track them...)).

Personally? I... don't know if the world is a better place with Luigi Mangione out on the streets (seriously... actually read up on him) but I also have zero qualms with someone not being punished for offing a monster.

But that isn't what is going to happen here. Some of the evidence will likely get thrown out. But there is also a LOT more evidence that we, the public, don't know about. For example, you can very much bet that a MUCH more rigorous timeline, supported by Flock(TM) camera footage, of him in NYC has been documented. That combined with the actual footage of him (allegedly) doing it and the witnesses like the taxi driver (?) and hotel clerk?

He will probably escape some of the charges. He will not be walking free. And... he'll probably get suicide'd in his cell within a year of being made an example of why you don't kill the oligarchs.
