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

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.

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
