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.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 118 points 1 week ago

Defense has brought it up multiple times already, it's biasing the jury pool

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 13 points 1 week ago

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?

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

There was actually a huge increase in approved claims immediately after.

Not sure how long it happened, but I remember hearing about it

[–] highfiveconnoisseur@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Blackrock is now suing because of that. Shareholder value is not maximized. We need more people dying.

Allegedly killed

[–] iamanurd@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago

I couldn’t figure out what was noteworthy about a bodyguard dying their hair…

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago
[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Pfft! Hahaha! Good! Better be scared with how many people THEY murder all the time!

[–] derry@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why is no one asking what they have to hide for if they're innocent and nothing to hide.
