They're certainly not being subtle with the class warfare
I knew they were going to try him in a kangaroo court, I just didn't think they'd be this obvious about it.
The justice system probably assigned the judge randomly. It's just finding a judge without wealth is impossible ... which in and of itself is a problem.
Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting.
I need the bootlickers to show up and tell me it's just coincidence.
The whole damn thing is a show. They are terrified. The book they usually play by isn't working. What will happen? The amount of support Luigi has is astounding. It's even a topic I tested the waters with at work and these people I work with make a decent living.
America is waking up. I feel it.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I genuinely think that they'll have a hard time finding an impartial jury.... I think that at this point, pretty much anyone who doesn't live under a rock has heard of him and has an opinion on whether he should be found guilty.
Regardless of which way you fall on that particular topic, you're biased, and that would exclude you from serving on the jury.
I thought the same thing about the Trump trial, but they legitimately turned over rocks and found the most oblivious Americans living under them. There are evidently tons of people out there living in their own little bubble, completely untethered from the news media or even just casual conversations with strangers and probably have no idea who Luigi is right now. The news might not be able to reach them, but a jury summons from the state can, and the prosecution is going to hunt for these individuals specifically.
That’s definitely a conflict of interest.
A certain fair and unbiased trial he's getting..../s
There were 24,849 homicides in 2022.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm
Almost none of them, if any, likely required a nationwide manhunt.
Not one of them required an escort of 30 police officers plus a helicopter to the courtroom.
As far as I can tell, none of them were charged with terrorism.
And now he's getting as biased a judge as he could possibly get.
If we're going to start charging murderers with terrorism, let's start with the cops.
Rich people being shot means nature is healing ❤️
Surely she’ll do the right thing and recuse herself from the case.
"conflict of interest" was old speak from the dark ages.
We are in the second Gilded Age
you people clearly don't know what you are talking about. "conflict of interest" only happens if it conflicts the interests of billionaires
I would think it might be excusable if this were a straight-up murder charge, which is mostly facts and evidence based. However, if they're charging him with terrorism, which is much more subjective, doesn't that make this a serious conflict of interest?
Doesn't seem like a conflict of interest /s
Land of the fee.
Second corroborating article: https://www.yahoo.com/news/luigi-mangione-judge-married-former-211332729.html
I’m going to nitpick here. The main reference for this Yahoo/daily Beast article is OP. That’s not corroborating.
I guess conflicts of interest just aren't a thing anymore.
Definitely good reason to get them swapped out for a different judge but are they going to oversee the whole trial or just the pretrial?
Also, they were an executive at Pfizer, not an insurance firm.
Pfizer isn't exactly in the good graces of the public either.
For profit healthcare is the problem. It's not the doctors, or nurses, or phlebotomists, or pharmacists that are trying to save lives. It's the people who handle the money fucking around with people's lives so they can make more.
It's the magistrate judge doing the pretrial hearings, not the trial judge. Not great, but not quite as outrageous.
This motherfucker was chosen specifically because of his racist and homophobic bias. Endorsing him is endorsing his prejudices.
Go on, you pieces or shit. Defend this horrifying bastard. It just places you on the same disgusting level as him.
Give them a break. They only saw the headline and the picture of a man before commenting.
