Luigi Mangione’s backpack WON’T be suppressed evidence

No death penalty for Luigi Mangione — a federal judge dropped Counts 3 and 4 of the indictment.

So potential LWOP for the remaining charges? IMO, murderers deserve the deserve the death penalty, but many don't even get life sentences. I have a former classmate who served 20 years in prison for murder and was paroled, and someone where I worked was sentenced to 35 years for a murder he committed.

At least the backpack evidence is coming in, so a conviction should be fairly easy.

He's a narcissist so rotting in prison the rest of his life instead will hopefully bring his ego down a few notches (but I doubt it).

theyknow jurys are less likely to convict if the death penalty is involved

Thanks. Personally happy about this. Family members know him and the family

Realistically, they were warned that the federal death penalty would be very challenging to pursue and argue for successfully. I'm not surprised the judge didn't agree with their assertions.

Regardless, Luigi will likely get life in prison.

The DP doesn't surprise me, even though I thought he should have been eligible for it. Someone like LM will probably suffer more being locked in a 10x8 cell for the rest of his life, without all the many financial advantages he has been accustomed to all his life.

Gosh, I do hope he is allowed to partake of the prison gym. You know he loves to work out and stay buff for his selfies.
