    Luigi did it at a good time. Millions are about to lose their healthcare. I don’t want to wish ill on anyone, but if some of those people on the jury lose their healthcare, that would be a good thing for Luigi. No way they’d hang him out to dry if they lost their healthcare.

  • They’re trying so hard to make him look like the bad guy and the corrupt af CEO the good guy but I’m not having it lol

    Luigi isn’t even my type but I have to admit he’s pretty fine 😘

    Well, good luck. /s

    The stupid bastards would have a hard time throwing a stone anywhere in any American city without hitting someone who’s been fucked over or had their family damaged/destroyed by an insurance company.

    The most important aspect of this that I think most people are missing is that they are specifically trying to bias the public into thinking he definitely did it. There is no “allegedly” in how they’ve treated him, they are actually using the positive public sentiment about what he did to continue to build the idea that it was definitely him and we don’t need to go to court to prove it. The public loving Mangione and believing he definitely did it is actually in many ways beneficial to their case. It helps solidify the idea in the general public eye that “he did it” before any court case has looked at the facts.

      Innocent until proven guilty, but if you say anything about that they’ll probably nix you from the jury pool so if you get selected just act dumb

      I definitely don’t. He’s a hero because he’s innocent and stood bravely against abusive treatment by the state. Too much fuckery for me to believe even hard evidence presented before my eyes. We know when we’re being fucked with.

          That’s why making sure potential jurors are educated on jury nullification, how it works, and how to not be prematurely dismissed as a juror is so important.

              Basically it means that you can return whatever verdict you want as long as you don’t say something stupid like “I don’t actually believe this by the way.”

                  You don’t believe in the public being part of the decision making about which laws are just? That’s part of democracy.

          Find one person, and I mean one that isn’t skewed by knowing the context of the case. Jury nullification is the correct course when it’s very, very clear that the prosecution is acting in bad faith. I have no idea the facts, I do know the prosecution is lying about the narrative because we’re not stupid.

              They choose a pool of jurors randomly. You don’t need to pretend to be uninformed until you’re in the room (unless you comment under your real name), where they select the actual jurors after each side has excluded some

    They have been since it happened. And it just doesn’t work. No one is more deserving of street justice than millionaire/billionaire ceos. Especially if their wealth is built on denying healthcare to others.

    its biasing us for Luigi, the more they try to do that the more attention they bring, which is why they mostly stopped reporting him in the news.
