It would be rare for a first degree murder, categorized by premeditation, planning, and afterthought, to not pursue the death penalty. Luigi is pleading innocent despite being caught fleeing with a gun and $20,000 cash to live off of while on the run.
The people making examples of him are the ones pushing him as some sort of saint and martyr to stoke violence and lawlessness specifically in the west.
He wasn’t caught with a gun. A cop searched his bag at the scene, took it to the station, “found” a gun in the front pocket there, and then turned it in as evidence.
So then you’re offering the alternative theory that the local cops in Altoona Pennsylvania had $20,000, a handwritten manifesto note signed by Luigi Mangione, and the murder weapon to plant?
His bag was illegally seized in the restaurant (no warrant or probable cause) and searched later, when they found a lot of convenient evidence. After a massive, sudden manhunt that was at serious risk of turning up empty-handed.
You just sent me 600+ words of pure nothing, maybe try to use your own thoughts for a change?
Warrantless searches are illegal in Pennsylvania for homes and vehicles, they’re expected to search the suspects person during an arrest. The Altoona local police don’t have any skin off their teeth if an FBI manhunt turns up empty. Yes, he did have a ton of convenient evidence, because he had been fleeing the area of the crime scene for several days without rest. Something pretty unusual among innocent people, imo.
…how do you struggle with 600 words, and yet post so much online?
I posted a link to a news story that mentioned the process of picking him up, mentioning grabbing the bag and processing it later, just as I said was done.

I’m going from what his lawyers said, per this story: https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/us/luigi-mangione-evidence-illegal-search

Here’s another, where his defense attorney talks about how his backpack was searched away from the restaurant where he was arrested before the evidence was found. Unfortunately, it also has some words: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/23/unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooting-trial-evidence
If every comment I replied to included an extra 600 words I’d be a lot less engaged with the conversation, that’s for sure.
