Defense attorneys for alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione said Thursday in a new court filing that the murder indictment a state grand jury returned against him should be dismissed due to double jeopardy and other alleged violations.
The indictment should be dismissed “because concurrent state and federal prosecutions violate the Double Jeopardy Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause and Mr. Mangione’s constitutional rights against self-incrimination, to meaningfully defend himself, to a fair and impartial jury and to the effective assistance of counsel,” defense attorneys wrote.
Defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said in the filing that “prosecutorial one-upmanship” resulted in Mangione facing state and federal charges in New York and separate charges in Pennsylvania.
Plus there’s a documentary and a musical about it. That alone jeopardizes the public opinion of him.
Not to mention every other aid on podcasts is about this case and the way they are edited it’s literally “Hes guilty. Why even hold the trial?”
You guys have been getting podcast ads about it? That’s wild, I haven’t got any at all. But I’m in California, maybe they’re only being played closer to NYC?
Its fucking nuts. Sometimes there will be 3 in a row. It’s fucking obvious they are poisoning the well out here.
Sneak in some Jury nullification ads. Watch as they suddenly get yeeted
What are the ads for? Who’s paying for them? Is NY and fed buying these ads? Or a PAC? Or someone selling insurance?
Its always an ad for a podcast about the case. But the ad is edited in a way to immediately dismiss any notion of innocence.
I’ve found the Brave internet browser to be extremely effective at blocking ads.

Being high profile and having some fanatic following didn’t stop people from persecuting Alec Baldwin, although his trial ended with dismissal of charges when the state investigators failed to present evidence collected at the crime scene. TBH I think it should have just been mistrial and they should have gone after him again, I blame him for cutting corners with safety.
