Defense attorneys for alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione said Thursday in a new court filing that the murder indictment a state grand jury returned against him should be dismissed due to double jeopardy and other alleged violations.
The indictment should be dismissed “because concurrent state and federal prosecutions violate the Double Jeopardy Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause and Mr. Mangione’s constitutional rights against self-incrimination, to meaningfully defend himself, to a fair and impartial jury and to the effective assistance of counsel,” defense attorneys wrote.
Defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said in the filing that “prosecutorial one-upmanship” resulted in Mangione facing state and federal charges in New York and separate charges in Pennsylvania.
Imprison Luigi. No exceptions to the rule of law, not even for internet celebrities.
Rule of law? You are fucking kidding right?
Here’s the Constitution for you lil bruv:
Luigi, as far as the law understands via the [still to be taken] decision of a jury, is innocent.
Yes. We’re on the exact same page here. He should face trial for his crimes.
Except what you said is imprison him. You called for an innocent man to be imprisoned. Are you 100% certain that you aren’t letting a subconscious bias about his innocence into your thoughts by using that language?
I personally believe he did it, but I will respect the outcome of the trial, unlike the person directly above me who wants Luigi freed without trial.
FWIW, he is facing trial. But every step of this case has been mishandled by the prosecution.
If the justice system is to be trusted, then this case should be dismissed, as it seems clear that he isn’t getting a fair trial.
Luigi is innocent.
I’m sure he was just holding that Glock with a custom part he designed and printed himself and $20,000 cash for a friend. Just went on a little shopping trip in New York, sight seeing. /s
Not convinced it wasn’t planted. Not like police have ever faked anything before.
Whats the benefit, in this case? If I were a cop I would not put up 20k and a traceable gun just to frame some random Mangione heir.
Basically to wrap it up. Probably didnt matter who they picked up. They just needed someone similar build.
