NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #12 *Arrest*

[Sundog]

Iirc correctly it was 7000 dollars some in foreign currency.
He comes from a wealthy family and did work for a while. He traveled extensively but stayed in hostels and the like iirc.
I don’t think there is any nefarious explanation for the money. He seemed to live frugally. There also could be trust fund.
JMO.

He may have been planning to leave the country.

Glad to see that Brian Thompson's mother was mentioned at the hearing, so that we are reminded who the true victims are in this case.

Mangione’s team just filed a new motion, claiming Pam Bondi should have recused herself from the case because of her ties to the Ballard Partners lobbying firm.A Ballard client? United Healthcare.

“This personal financial interest caused her to engage in conduct that no prior Attorney General has ever engaged in: premediated, purposeful and fatally prejudicial statements and actions that directly led to the death penalty indictment in this case…”

I don't know why I continue to be surprised at this point, but that is a shockingly obvious conflict of interest. If LM really was the murderer the state certainly sabotaged their case.

We know how Lizzie Borden's trial turned out, right?

Not sure if youre aware that there are paid activism sites, which offer paid protesting jobs. Crowds on Demand is one that comes to mind.

I will finish by saying there are capable and strong professional judges and there are weak judges.

moo

I’ve never seen a paid activism site. Do you have a link? Who operates and pays for these businesses?

My heart breaks for their family. I can't imagine what they are feeling right now. I would be devastated if a family member was murdered and the govt either let the real killer get away or they botched the case so badly that my family didn't receive justice. Heartbreaking, really.

Cheer up, it hasn’t happened yet.

It won’t happen either, mark my words.

In defense of the defense, lol, new sources do copy other news stories from time to time, but I dont know.

Posting another source concerning LM's mother's statement.


The mother of Luigi Mangione reportedly told authorities that she "could see him" being behind the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Luigi Mangione’s Mom Could ‘See Him Doing’ Shooting

Authorities spoke with his mom before he was identified.

According to defense as reported by ABC News:
To date, there has been no documentation provided in discovery that confirms the Chief of Detectives' statement as to Mrs. Mangione's alleged statement," defense attorney Karen Agnifilo wrote. "If it is true that Mrs. Mangione never made this statement, then it is shocking and unconscionable that the District Attorney's Office and the NYPD have never corrected this highly prejudicial false statement.
+
If Mangione's mother did, in fact, tell San Francisco police that shooting Thompson "might be something she could see him doing," Agnifilo said the district attorney's office should provide proof.

(Sorry, I do not know how to put blockquotes, or if WS has that option. Let me know if this is confusing to read and I will try to fix it. I am quoting the article.)

News outlets last year reported what LEO claimed Luigi Mangione's mother said. You are correct that news sources will refer to each other, but it appears the source of this claim (that the mother said she could see her son killing Brian Thompson) may have come from LEO. Another possibility is that whichever news outlet reported this info first may have made it up.

Criminals aren't smart or they wouldn't get caught. Oftentimes they are buying their murder supplies on video surveillance cameras at Walmart or Home Depot.

im just saying its rather incredible tthat they found all the evdence with so little effort even with the dibest crimunals it takes a little for the police to gather all the evedence but in this case it just seems to have ell in there lap

Perhaps it’s because the owner of the evidence carried it all in one backpack.

 

[mrC]

yes but thats the thing ive never heard of somone carrying all the evdence needed to convict them beforei hes supposed by clever enough to print a 3d gun without aceses to a 3d printer but not cleaver to carry highly incriminating evedence around in a backpack strange that

To be fair, if all criminals were equally ignorant, then we wouldn't have WS.

Of course it's possible, but I am inclined to be skeptical as well because Luigi seems like a very intelligent person. He graduated with two degrees from Uni of PA, which is an Ivy.

If LM was intentionally unhoused, he had nowhere to store what he carried on his backpack. I think he intended to be transient and mobile, and I wouldn't be sueprised to learn that he was homing in on his next target.

Guessing he felt quite invisible at a random McDonald's in Any City, USA.

And who would expect an alleged murderer to be in public, so nonchalant? No one. It had to feel surreal to the witness who thought it was him. Top to bottom, I think LE approached him casually because no one expected it to be him actually.

I wonder who was next in his list. For me, that's why he had his backpack, filled as it was, with him. He was on a mission, his.

[TalkToTofana]

Megnut, that is such a clever theory. It honestly did not occur to me. It certainly is a plausible theory for how someone so intelligent could have made such a big error.

 

[mrC]

so how does somome who is intentinally homeless get acess to a 3d printer to print a gun to my mind theres no way he can

Intentionally unhoused doesn't mean his wallet can't be intentionally padded.

Money makes lots of things happen.

And AFAIK we don't know when he acquired it. He may have owned it for a long while.
