Then why hasnt he said they got the wrong guy? Hes playing the legal game now, has nothing to do with guilt or innocence. It also doesnt matter if the cops planted the gun, they mishandled the bag and recorded too much of what happened.
I haven't heard much out of Luigi at all (although I admit, I'm not paying that much attention). Sounds to me like he's just keeping his mouth shut in general and letting his lawyer do the talking. Which is just solid advice for the US legal system.
He shouted at reporters that this was an insult to intelligence of the american people. Not very conclusive either way, but since you hadn't heard.
You're right, I did hear something similar to that before.
He's mostly been busy shutting the fuck up, like you're supposed to do when you're on trial, but I think this counts:
"It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience!" - 10 December 2024. This statement was explained by Mangione's lawyer as the result of him being "agitated about what’s happening to him and what he’s being accused of."
Which it is, in fact, an insult to the American people to expect us to believe he's guilty. If I had a nickel for every massively publicized national trial involving rampant police corruption and planting of evidence, I'd have two nickels, one from OJ Simpson and one from Luigi. If I had a nickel for every time it actually happened without being broadcast to the nation I'd be able to buy Twitter with them.
Well, OJ killed his wife and her lover, and Luigi killed that CEO. I will say that he has a fantastic lawyer but hes lucky he didnt say anything more specific than that.
They're not letting him near the press. The one thing we've heard from him as they shoved him against a wall in front of cameras was that they planted stuff on him.
That's his lawyer's job. That's what they're doing right fucking now.
