Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.
“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.
After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”
“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.
If this is actually the perpetrator, it’s possible he intended to get caught so that they dont find a scapegoat to accuse, but he merely wanted to delay his arrest in order to see the social media reactions before potentially going to prison.
If that’s the case, I’ll bet he was loving it. Has anyone ever captured the admiration of so many people with one act? Especially an act this violent?
Free Luigi.
Well OJ Simpson kinda did, well his crime was obviously much more morally wrong, but there are people cheering for him during his police chase, but probably not as unanimous as with Luigi.
I think that’s notably different because nobody was cheering that Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were killed, they were either cheering that the cops were “losing” the chase or because they thought he was innocent.
The consensus here is that The Adjustor definitely committed murder and we think that rocks.
Yes. Learn your history.
