Summary
Luigi Mangione’s lawyer accused New York Mayor Eric Adams of politicizing Mangione’s arrest for the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Adams attended Mangione’s perp walk, calling it symbolic, but Mangione’s attorney claimed the spectacle aimed to distract from Adams’ own federal corruption charges.
Mangione, arrested in Pennsylvania, faces first-degree murder charges in Manhattan tied to terrorism, as well as federal charges potentially carrying the death penalty.
His lawyer emphasized the presumption of innocence during his Monday court appearance. Trial dates for both cases have yet to be set.
Adams probably thought he had a personal 9/11 moment he could use to become a hero and hide corruption, just like Rudy did. Turns out nobody actually gives a shit about him or the justice system this time around. L+ratio bozo!
9/11 moment, except the “Bin Laden” in the case is already executed, and Adams is the the terrorist co-conspirator.
