that judge will be a biased pos. it is unavoidable with his relationships. this is the wrong judge if you want true justice.
Yikes. Incredibly messed up.
It’s the magistrate judge doing the pretrial hearings, not the trial judge. Not great, but not quite as outrageous.
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.
Honestly the data in the article is the reference so yeah
Yes, but they add context to the source so you don’t have to trust that the blog is reputable. Secondary source.
They’re certainly not being subtle with the class warfare
They haven’t been since they got raked from COVID-19 and shutdowns tanking their stocks in 2020. So they price gouge with inflation and shrinkflation, keep prices high to make up the difference and fuck us over. Then they keep the prices artificially high, raising prices on entertainment, force people back to the office, and use those as talking points to tank democrat campaigns.
They’ve been openly at war for the last 5-years or so. Just like Gaza, you can only trap people in misery for so long before they lose just enough to make it worth fighting back with violence. We’re on the cusp of that backlash and I have a feeling the next 4+ years are gonna see the blowup.
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
That’s literally what it’s taken in the past. It took the fear of communism to really get unionization accepted in the US. In other eras it’s taken the threat of invasion by external powers.
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’ve spoken with friends about this is Denmark, and we all read the news with great pleasure.
Correct. And I strongly suspect they are wildly pumping out news about him to narrow the juror pool to people who do live under rocks.
The other option is that jurors lie about their bias, which opens them up for legal consequences.
His defense, in any case, has a very difficult task - they need to be able to somehow communicate him being innocent against stacked charges OR paint him light that the rest of us see that leans them towards Jury Nullification.
My hope is that potential jurors hide their bias, which isn’t easy, but gives him the best chance.
The other option is that jurors lie about their bias, which opens them up for legal consequences.
That’s almost impossible to prove, and almost never prosecuted.
They’re trying to use fear to spin a story against this guy. They’re going to use fear when telling them about lying under oath.
They’re going to use fear the whole way, it’s their only weapon.
It’s why they are so afraid. A lot of us see through it, and see their real fear.
There are plenty of nevers and almost nevers with this case already, so it’s not unreasonable to worry that there might be more.
If they can find an “unbiased” jury, then the defense does indeed have a difficult challenge ahead. Even if the prosecution fails with their terrorism charge, they can fall back on murder 2, which is much harder to defend against.
Oh, I already have a simple solution to that.
I ain’t seen nothin in that video.
Let’s all do our best impression of Johnny tightlips whenever anyone with a badge or a gavel asks about Luigi.
“Hey Eddie, good to see ya. How’s your mother?”
“Who says i got a mutha?”
“Tell 'im to suck a lemon.”
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.
The 65+ crowd view him unfavorably, so I expect the jury to be a bunch of 65+ people
An unfavorable view is still bias. The defense would reject any juror that shows significant malice towards the plaintiff.
The defense can try to reject any juror that shows significant malice. Oftentimes both sides only have so many that they can strike from the potential juror pool unless the judge agrees there is enough bias to sway someone.
…and since this entire thread started because the judge is married to a previous executive of a healthcare* company, well, good luck Luigi defense.
I guess conflicts of interest just aren’t a thing anymore.
Nothing to be avoided anymore. Something to seek out.
IKR. They are allowed to veto jurors or ti move the whole trial in order to reach a nonbias journey but apparently that doesn’t apply to the judge? Yikes beyond yikes.
I’m not so sure this would be considered a conflict of interest.
Don’t get me wrong; it’s egregious, but I don’t know if it actually is a COI.
(Not a lawyer).
“I swear, officer, that I didn’t kill that judge. The fact that my search history indicates an interest in 3D printed guns, and I own the works of Karl Marx, AND I was wearing a free “Free Luigi” shirt doesn’t prove anything.”

That’s definitely a conflict of interest.
I’m sure the judge will recuse themselves to avoid any appearance of impropriety… /s
As Clarence Thomas has proved.
(Sack of shit.)
As judges always do…
Rich people being shot means nature is healing ❤️

Yeah, clearly the problem are the suspects and not the system that has “justice” be dispensed by crooks.

Meaning what, exactly?

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.
what you expect from a country where judges in the highest court get bribed with “gifts” and “private” trips, while at the same time ignore “international laws” and threaten the most recognized court in the world. What you expect from a government and country that allow a rapist, felon, to be a president while enabling the killing of more than 30 000 kids and women (year old worst estimates).
Such government will have no regards for it is own citizen and this is just the start of worse to come if people don’t step in.
