He is innocent, obviously a patsy when they could not find the real culprit.
The pictures from the crime scene do not match, if the eyebrows do not fit you cannot convict.

I think he’s guilty and they only caught him through illegal means, and they realized they can’t reconstruct legal evidence so they have to smear him.
My thoughts as well.
I heard someone told the cashier where they caught him “hey that’s the CEO assassin guy, you should call it in and get the reward!”
Reeks of illegal surveillance.

Death penalty for a murder of a single persons seems harsh. I’m anti death penalty 100% of the time, though.
They want the death penalty in case other Americans get ideas. They want to make an example out of him.
It's a thin line between making an example or making a martyr of him, so the case will likely perpetually linger in limbo.

Even people who are okay with the death penalty in a moral sense should be against it for logical reasons. Once you factor in the cost of the appeals system, the cost of the drugs themselves, the cost of paying out people or families when the drugs dont work as theyre supposed to, and the cost of keeping people in prison on death row, it is infinitely more expensive than just putting someone in prison for life.
As a society, not to mention as taxpayers, we pay a huge premium to let the state exact barbaric revenge on people
I'm okay with the death penalty in cases like treason or insurrection.
When it's clear that they committed the crimes.
In broad daylight.
For everyone to see.
On live television.
With absolutely no doubt that they are guilty.
You want this administration being the arbiter of what is treason?

I oppose the death penalty. No one has the right to take a single life, let alone the 40,000 people that Brian Robert Thompson murdered in cold blood.

ah I see you're still using "person" as a measurement unit instead of the more modern "net worth"
Am I the only one to find the phrase "net worth" disgusting? It should be "net wealth" or something.

Luigi shouldn't be in jail at all. He was just looking out for several million of his friends.
Not to mention that he clearly isn't the shooter.
That was someone with very different eyebrows. The only thing we know about his appearance.
It couldn't have been him, Luigi and I were fishing that day all day long. We both wept when we heard the news.

He should be released and compensated for the time he spent behind bars. He is innocent.
Everyone say it with me, "Luigi Mangione is an innocent man being framed by the government because they were unable to find the real culprit."
#free Luigi
I'm really not convinced that's the case. Either way I want him to walk free. Killing the CEO was the morally right thing to do. That CEO has been part of the system that has murdered thousands/millions out of pure greed.

We need a new US monument/shrine where we can pilgrimage to and make an offering to the god of incompetence (which one is that again?) for smiling kindly upon us. It feels wrong to be relying so solely on the power of one god here without offering up any kind of gift in thanks.
Random, but at this point why not claim he was trying to kill leftists, at which point Trump would forgive him?
If I were on the Jury hes innocent. My grandma died from a bad premium.

Is it just me, or do all the new news pics of Luigi look less... Pro-Luigi?
Honestly the death penalty is cruel. The government should not be executing people.
Mostly he'll avoid the death penalty because he didn't do it. Trump's comments just make it a bit easier.
Great work Trump! … eww… that felt weird.
Where are all the "jury nullification" comments?

The judge ordered the DOJ prosecutors to file a response by Oct. 3 that included “a sworn declaration from a person of suitable authority…that explains to the Court how these violations occurred, despite the Court’s April 25 Order, and what steps are being taken to ensure that no future violations occur.”
The order further required the prosecutors “to advise the Deputy Attorney General, for dissemination within the Department as appropriate, that future violations may result in sanctions, which could include personal financial penalties, contempt of court findings, or relief specific to the prosecution of this matter,” and to include “confirmation that this message has been conveyed to the Deputy Attorney General” in the sworn declaration due Oct. 3.
Garnett concluded by stating that she “will consider” the statements by DOJ employees cited in the defense letter as part of the defense’s motion to strike the death penalty, spelling out a potentially very real consequence for a Trump administration that has aggressively agitated for severe consequences for Thompson’s murder.
