Oof he isn’t convicted but the media isn’t saying “allegedly” in headlines for him. Shows how they’re trying to sway public opinion.

Defense has brought it up multiple times already, it's biasing the jury pool
Was it supposed to be a direct quote from the DA? Even if so, it shouldn’t be in the headline.
Public opinion is already swayed. Luigi Mangione has become a symbol to a lot of people and as such the super-rich want to punish him.
I bet they are more scared of the symbol than they are of the thought that Mangione is innocent and the real shooter might still be free and plotting another hit.
The "real shooter" would only be one person, but a symbol has the power to create 10 or 100 more or to spark a violent rebellion and that they can't let happen.
Innocent or not, it's unfortunately Luigi Mangione they need punished in the most horrific and exemplar way possible.
I guess he's not getting a fair trial, they'll have to jury nullify the shit out of it.
That's actually very surprising - it starts with "DA says" which is presumably their defamation defense, but usually the lawyers wouldn't let that pass.
Maybe there are no editors left working at BI. This was three days ago

Well, I'm sure their new AI editors will protect them against defamation lawsuits going forward...
"Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson"
Objection, baseless speculation.
If that's terrorism then what do we call the death and pain caused by pursuit of profits?
If they want to have a discussion about labels, it's not gonna go well in front of a jury.
At every step defense should be asking the jury:
If you had been killed, would this be happening? Why are lives valued differently
Free enterprise, just like the Atlantic slave trade and the genocide of the Indians.
And not a single one of them paused and went "wait, maybe the choices we're making are the problem here?" Instead, it was "keep being evil, but now with bodyguards!"
what defendant considered a deadly greed-fueled cartel," Seidemann wrote.
I mean, what are they, then?
Parasites who deserve to be tossed in a vat of acid?
Every individual word is true, that is the dystopian reality we live in, but even when true they're depending on it sounding too conspiratorial and therefore not credible. The nerve of these people.
Why should 40 assholes hiding from someone who is already in custody gave any bearing on his case?
My gf dyed her hair last week, must be a criminal in chains somewhere!
let me guess not one of them decided to have better business practices
There was actually a huge increase in approved claims immediately after.
Not sure how long it happened, but I remember hearing about it
Blackrock is now suing because of that. Shareholder value is not maximized. We need more people dying.
Scared CEOs—finally, a guilt-free fetish.
Allegedly killed
I couldn’t figure out what was noteworthy about a bodyguard dying their hair…
Pfft! Hahaha! Good! Better be scared with how many people THEY murder all the time!
Why is no one asking what they have to hide for if they're innocent and nothing to hide.
