UHC CEO Gunned Down in Midtown Manhattan

[Anonymous]

I posted earlier today that the killer would probably be intelligent but mentally ill similar to the Unabomber. I bet he ends up being schizophrenic. Our health system probably failed him and our gun laws failed Brian Thompson.

He’s going to take a plea.

Yeah no way this goes to trial unless he pleads insanity and even then very good chance of a plea.

Crime is on video, footage of him at Starbucks, and they found the gun and the fake idea he used to check into the NYC hostel PLUS a 3-page "manifesto" that will show motive, on him in Altoona.

He's cooked.

Probably, but that also means they don't need to offer him anything. Posters here may have fanciful ideas about jury nullification, but there's no way a jury doesn't convict on first degree murder here.

Yeah?

If I’m on that jury, I’ll hold out until it hangs. I don’t care what they say, I just won’t convict. Period.

Now, there’s plenty of people out there like me.

There were 2 jurors on a trial I served on who said nothing would change their minds to convict, unless they’d been standing there. A lot of people who say what pp above you did haven’t ever served on a jury, or it was a cut and dry case.

This will be the Gen Z OJ Simpson case. He has a massive amount of fangirls right now.

Both of them were GenZ young women.

Are you willing to commit perjury to get on the jury in the first place? Because it will require that.

Sure. Prove I perjured myself. You cannot.

You’re right. But having picked about 15 criminal juries, I’ve looked a lot of potential jurors in the eye. People have a much harder time lying when they’re standing alone in front of a judge, a prosecutor, and a defense attorney than you might think.

How is it lying to vote that you’re not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that he’s guilty?

You are asked if you are honestly open to deciding either way. If you go in intending to hang the jury, you would be considered in contempt if they found that out when you answered this question.

Not if he dropped out.

You're never an ex student. You're a former, you're an alumnus, you're a graduate. Why was "ex" Ivy League student put in every headline and viral tweet?

I assume that it’s because they can’t confirm that he graduated.

It’s because they can’t write. Confirming his degrees is simple. Or it was a few hours ago. Now you’d have to work a little harder but still doable.

If you believe the BBC (which I do), "He is also a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where he received a bachelor's and master's degree in computer science, according to the school, and founded a video game development club."

Here come the excuses because it’s a rich white guy.

He’s not really white. My guess is his roots are in southern Italy with North African genes somewhere in his family tree.

Italians are white.

Why are conservatives so obsessed with race?

Yeah as much as we are celebrating him I would still be devastated if my child threw his life away doing something like this. Odds are he’s getting some prison time and he’ll be sitting in a cell for many years after the news cycle moves on. He is clearly well educated and had someone investing a lot in him. I wish there was another way to overthrow the ruling class without young people feeling this desperate.

That said … for all the other disgruntled people out there who want to kill and be in the news, take note at how glorified this guy is compared to school shooters. If you want to go out in a blaze of glory, this is a better angle than killing kids and teachers, just sayin’.

Yes. It is the world's worst plan to go to a tiny town like that where all the locals know each other. Makes zero sense.

The idiocy of what he did is so dumb it must have been intentional. Why the elaborate plan to get out of NYC and then that's all he had? Seems like he wanted to get caught.

The population is 42,000.

But who is doing it? Platforms themselves? His family per his instructions? Or???

And how do you know that?
Wouldn’t the platforms welcome the increased traffic and more ad revenue?
The platforms and websites. To avoid wacko armchair detectives like you. SMH.

Not from the people they want to reach. You think Goodreads wants you screenshotting the reviews written by a murderer and posting them? You find it weirdly fascinating but they don’t. Nope.

But this kid was part of the ruling class through his family’s wealth and earning money off of medical reimbursements…

If it goes to trial and verdict, they'll deliberate in under a day.

Will. Never. Happen.
The judge should not accept a deliberation that fast, unless there’s something egregious on either side. DNA isn’t recovered, or even faulty claim: they said the water bottle was his from SB, but there’s no DNA. Or, if they can’t prove the bullet was from his ghost gun. Or, if he represents himself.

Yep. And nothing will change.

LOL. CNN is talking about NYPD’s “old fashioned detective work”! Give me a break. They pulled some pictures from cameras and a boomer called in a tip for reward money.

I’ve driven through Altoona and it’s a miserable place. I’m glad people are boycotting the losers who turned him in. And McDonalds of all places. Figures.

Well, too late - The Cut beat me to it https://www.thecut.com/article/luigi-mangione-united-healthcare-goodreads-account.html

But since you seem to have an intimate knowledge of the platforms’ thinking: why did they all do it at the same time?

Interesting take last line, yes.
