Wow... Luigi Mangione just pled Not Guilty. He has to be banking on a jury nullification play, right? Honestly voir dire will be the most impactful part of the trial by far, I can't imagine the defense can present any credible exculpatory evidence.

I think he just wants it to go to trial

make a show of it

they're charging him with terrorism, was he ever going to get a plea deal that was even remotely worth taking?

i think they want to roll the dice
I can understand that, but that's exactly why I would offer him a halfway decent plea deal as the DA. Maybe offer 25 years at medium security, as opposed to being guaranteed to die at ADX Florence.

its a state case, right?
snow

not federal?
Oh yeah, my bad
snow
12:07
you're good, i was just making sure. yeah, i would take it to trial
snow
12:07
you just need one juror
snow
12:07
but i think that if i were the state, i would not be scared to bust the jury if i had to
I mean, you only need one juror to get a hung jury and a retrial, you need all 12 to get found innocent

I do not see him doing a long time, if he is not punished hard then more (less attractive) crazy people will come out and start murdering for social justice and expect the same
