https://apnews.com/article/mangione-unitedhealthcare-death-penalty-dismissed-killing-1d17a30d0297acda29fc82dbf54d2677

Federal prosecutors can’t seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a federal judge ruled Friday, foiling the Trump administration’s bid to see him executed for what it called a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.”

Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed a federal murder charge that had enabled prosecutors to seek capital punishment, finding it technically flawed. She wrote that she did so to “foreclose the death penalty as an available punishment to be considered by the jury” as it weighs whether to convict Mangione.

Garnett also dismissed a gun charge but left in place stalking charges that carry a maximum punishment of life in prison. To seek the death penalty, prosecutors needed to show that Mangione killed Thompson while committing another “crime of violence.” Stalking doesn’t fit that definition, Garnett wrote in her opinion, citing case law and legal precedents.

In a win for prosecutors, Garnett ruled they can use evidence collected from his backpack during his arrest, including a 9mm handgun and a notebook in which authorities say Mangione described his intent to “wack” an insurance executive. Mangione’s lawyers had sought to exclude those items, arguing the search was illegal because police hadn’t yet obtained a warrant.

The backpack and gun the cop found with their body cam off? lol

Luigi Mangione belongs in a good insane asylum.
>>
>>1485545
Defense is gonna have fun with that at trial.
>>
Good
>>
>>1485549
Luigi's lawyers have to make sure that he has a predominantly female jury
>>
>>1485547

He belongs dead, in order to teach a lesson to his hybristophiliac fanbase and to get rid of a prettyboy: no, you do not get to pop off and directly challenge the government/business apparatus from which you yourselves all personally benefit, even and especially when they deny your claims. He's already a "martyr" (from the wrongheaded point of view), so the simple formality of putting him down doesn't hazard any further martyrdom from that same incorrect perspective.

The assassination was a direct attack on capital, the American system, all of it. Which is to say, the good guys. He needs to be put down, one way or another, and to be made an example of. Ideally, this will occur through the machinations of the justice system.

>teach lesson
He’d become a martyr and symbol and many more of him would likely be created the moment he took his last breath.

>a direct attack on capital, the American system, all of it. Which is to say, the good guys.
*Laughs in Jan 6th*
>>
>>1485735
It's extremely telling he considers crony capitalism to be 'the American system' and not democracy.
>>
>>1485732
Dude shut the fuck up.
>>
>>1485732
>hybristophiliac
This the new eleutheromania?
>>
>>1485735
So who was the next person to shoot a healthcare CEO after Luigi?
How many more Luigis have been created so far?
>>
trump next
>>
>>1485526
I would not be shocked if a jury lets Luigi off on any serious charges and I am serious
>>
>>1485732
Not as dead as the CEOs who kill millions by denying their insurance claims.
Thankfully, there's a Luigi for that.
>>
>>1485792
What if Brian Thompson was denying insurance claims for troons? It's possible he was saving lives.
>>
>>1485791
Jury Nullification would be the troll move, so redditchan, aka /pol/ would be dead set against it
>>
>>1485732
I do wish death on you and all the shills like you. Luigi is a saint. Murder him and he will become an marter for all time. May there be a thousand blessed copy cats.
>>
>>1485900
Jesus Christ is a saint
Luigi is Barabbas
He is a false prophet
>>
>>1485900
Luigi's a low IQ monkey that murdered an innocent man
>>
>>1485920
>>1485919
Paid shills have no souls. Also this is what Chan looks like when all paid astroturfing of our thinking is now down by AI. It looks like shit and sounds like shit and is hundreds of times easier to ignore.
>>
>>1485922
Please do ignore it and stop shitting up the board with your brainless commentary
>>
>>1485732
>capital, the American system, all of it. Which is to say, the good guys
To be good, fundamentally, is to care for your fellow man. What you describe is the opposite of that, the American system's incentive structures directly reward maximal exploitation and destroying the agency of others. This is plain to see with the for-profit healthcare industry which has needlessly ruined countless lives. At least, that's the way the system is right now.
>>
>>1485924
The American system maximalizes personal autonomy, which is a greater good than your retarded communist delusion.
>>
>>1485926
Clearly it's not, not without certain limits. Unless you're some misanthropic egoist I don't think even you believe letting thousands of people unnecessarily die every year for pennies on the dollar is "for the greater good". If you give everyone maximal autonomy, a lot of the people who win the game are going to make it harder for everyone else to play for a few extra bucks. That's not "maximal autonomy" and that's especially not a sustainable way to design society.
>>
>>1485928
Your inability to provide for yourself is not someone else's fault.
>>
>>1485929
I'm perfectly able to provide for myself. A lot of people aren't, through no fault of their own, just because they rolled shit luck on the health lottery and the system is broken. This shouldn't be hard to understand, am I arguing with a bot here?
>>
>>1485924
It would and did work without the government subsidies tho.
>>
>>1485932
what do you mean exactly? for healthcare or business in general?
>>
>>1485931
There are already plenty of safety nets for those types of people. Too many in fact.
>>
>>1485934
Both.
>>
>>1485937
would just like more context is all
>>
>>1485938
The US healthcare system worked fine and became the absolute god-tier gold standard for healthcare.
>>
>>1485942
when has that ever been true? compared to countries where it just comes free with your subscription to society
>>
>>1485942
Yeah for the 1% who can afford it. Meanwhile we have people fucking dying because they have to choose between stuff like insulin or inhalers they literally need to live and being able to pay rent.
>>
>>1485946
Sucks to suck. Git gud chomo
>>
>>1485948
i want to understand what drives people like you to have no empathy. i know it's not just you, it's very common, but i just can't rationalize it as a human trait.
>>
>>1485942
Wow. The AI shills. Are tuned really well for this exact prompt I see. lol
>>
>>1485950
No one feels bad for you bro. Quit begging for handouts and do something with your life.
>>
>>1485948
>We have a great healthcare system
>...That no one can afford, but that's their problem
>>
>>1485952
>Quit begging for handouts
Asking to be able to afford basic healthcare is a handout?
>>
>>1485953
No one owes you anything, entitled little goober
>>
>>1485952
yeah, I wasn't really expecting an actual answer.
i'll just interpret this as you trolling for fun and move on with my day
>>
>>1485955
Have you considered getting a job?
>>
>>1485956
Yeah and Brian Thompson wasn't owed a peaceful death. Honestly with this attitude it looks like the problem is we aren't killing enough CEOs.

I'll pull myself up with your fucking corpse.
>>
>>1485957
Yeah, just give up. Like you've done in every other aspect of your life. Parasite
>>
>>1485959
You won't do shit. Redditor ahh bih
>>
>>1485956
>No one owes you anything
Basic human decency, and respect.
If I had met you IRL and didn't know you, I would treat you with both of these, and I would expect you to treat me the same way back. It's what we owe to each other. This is the basic social contract, treat others the way you want to be treated.
If somehow you disagree with even this premise, I'm not even religious but I'll pray that you find Jesus or that he finds you.
>>
>>1485960
>The anon rooting for ceos who do literally nothing all day but collect the work of others is calling people parasites
How about "fuck you, give me what I'm owed for paying my taxes"
>>
>>1485962
>social contract
That's not a real thing.
>>1485963
Your taxes will go to paying Somali fraudsters and you will like it
>>
>>1485628
If he has a female jury he will get a nullification and the gene pool within 200 miles of where he settles will be permanently altered as he drowns in puss
>>
>>1485922
You just need to ask yourself what is the difference between the civil rights icons of today, Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and figures like MLK Jr, or Rosa Parks.
How did the cops handle MLK Jr when he instigated a fight with law enforcement while carrying a loaded weapon? What happened when Rosa Parks hit the gas while surrounded by law enforcement telling her to get out of the vehicle and attempting to arrest her?
Oh, those things never happened? Why didn't MLK Jr or Rosa Parks end up in encounters with the police like the new generation of civil rights activists?
>>
>>1485983
Rosa Parks and MLK Jr. were manufactured media events. The protests of the 60s were also media events.
Once you realize the underlying principle behind these media events designed to manufacture consent/compliance your outlook changes forever.
>>
>>1485983
>Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and figures like MLK Jr, or Rosa Parks.
They all acted out and were rewarded for being uppity dipshits?
>>
>>1485984
What if I told you the Trump assassination attempt, the Charlie Kirk shooting and Luigi shooting were also manufactured events?
>>
>>1485984
Believing this unironically makes you the sheep you claim others to be.
>>
>>1485989
WTF are you talking about?
>>1485986
To what ends?
>>
CEO of health is basically a global elite, so good riddance. If he actually died, of course. There's always a catch.
>>
>>1485992
The CEOs are overpaid because they are frontmen. He was replaced in less than an hour and his replacement was at the board meeting the first one was going to.
>>
>>1485983
>You just need to ask yourself what is the difference between the civil rights icons of today, Alex Pretti, Renee Good,
These are not civil rights icons, even by today's standards. They will not be remembered in history anymore than Michael Reinoehl or Garrett Foster.
>>
He’s going to walk. Meanwhile Charlie Kirk’s killer is getting executed by firing squad. The world would rather see unattractive men dead.

They seem to be getting all the stops.
