Sounds like a misunderstanding by OP https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/30/luigi-mangione-death-penalty-dismissed
Not exactly... It's just complicated because they tried to throw everything at him.
The federal murder charge was dismissed. Which takes the death penalty off the table because there is no death penalty in New York State. There's still other federal and state charges pending.
stalking charge is still there which is pretty big
Yeah I think I would have heard if that had happened. I did hear about the death penalty being dismissed and while I'm not a big Luigi lover the way some are, I don't support the death penalty so it's certainly good news.
I’m not a big Luigi lover
Why? The guy has his flaws, but his actions have showed so many americans they're not alone and they're not powerless
what actions? my man is innocent, was with him that whole day myself i swears
this is funny and everything but there was no reason for him to be in the mcdonalds, wearing the same outfit, carrying a buffet of incriminating evidence. It doesn't make any sense at all. He's probably innocent, like for real innocent. Or at worst a fall-guy for thompson's wife, who gained the most feom his death and now doesn't have to go through messy divorce proceedings to get her hands on a good chunk of his wealth. That should have been the starting point for the investigation, but the whole thing became a circus.
cops would never falsify evidence, surely? certainly not the FBI, they're all upstanding citizens
The FBI was under a lot of pressure to find a suspect. They could have planned that bag on him after they arrived.
