The OJ case was purely circumstantial. This case has a mountain of direct evidence. Even granting that the video of the shooting is grainy and inconclusive as to the identity of the shooter, they've got his fingerprints on the shell casings, a writing that is in part a confession, and ballistics matching the murder weapon to the gun found on him in Altoona.

The Penny-Neely death was not a pre-meditated, cold-blooded killing with a firearm as was the Mangione-Thompson killing. And, at the risk of being picky, Penny and Neely weren't on a sidewalk. The setting of a closed, moving subway car, which magnifies the risk from an unstable person in the car, was a factor in the outcome.

Now 183.

Provider or insurer, yup.

Here is the applicable statute in New York: "In any prosecution for an offense, it is an affirmative defense that when the defendant engaged in the proscribed conduct, he lacked criminal responsibility by reason of mental disease or defect. Such lack of criminal responsibility means that at the time of such conduct, as a result of mental disease or defect, he lacked substantial capacity to know or appreciate either: 1. The nature and consequences of such conduct; or 2. That such conduct was wrong." Given his intelligence and what I've seen of his writing, proving the necessary elements of mental disease or defect will be a very, very tall order.

Substitute "brazen" for "random".

I'm willing to bet a tidy sum that a jury full of New Yorkers is not going to endorse a random. cold-blooded assassination on a sidewalk smack dab in the middle of our city.

New stories indicate he was a data engineer at TrueCar until sometime in 2023. IMHO the timing is a strong indication that his back problems, the apparently less than fully successful surgery, and the associated chronic pain and drugs altered his thinking. Altered thinking + brain power on the level his academic record indicates = recipe for tragic deterioration. Sadly, he took another man's life down with him.

Dang, Apex, that's so sad. Reading your story, I hear the sound of two hearts breaking at the same time.

I notice that you didn't disagree, though. 😉 I know my city. Besides, any prospective juror who might be from Baltimore and familiar with the family (certainly not impossible in a city full of transplants) will most likely be bounced from the jury.

New Yorkers are notorious for knowing and caring little about such things outside of New York's orbit. Some family that owns a couple of country clubs and nursing homes in Baltimore will mean as much to the jury as a cattle rancher in Wyoming.

The wealth will buy him good defense lawyers. The political affiliations are unknown and irrelevant in NY and the jury will hear little or nothing about them.

Actually two did. Both said he was great, although also greatly expensive.

There is nothing about the spirit of the law that suggests cold-blooded assassination of a health care insurance executive should not be criminal.

In the U.S., "judge only trials", usually called bench or non-jury trials, are available in all jurisdictions. In criminal cases, in some states, including New York, it is entirely up to the defendant (except for first degree murder), in others, both the defendant and the prosecution have to agree. This guy will be charged at most with second degree murder. First degree murder in New York State is limited to certain circumstances that aren't present in this case. https://www.arthurpressmanlaw.com/exploring-the-different-degrees-of-murder-charges-in-new-york/

The judge will not let the trial divert to an examination of the health industry--it won't be relevant to the murder charge. Mangione's manifesto will probably come in, though, as what is effectively a confession. The voir dire process, that it, the questioning of prospective jurors before the jury is seated, will have a thorough focus on their attitudes about the health care industry and insurance companies.

Just google "Luigi Mangione" and gay and see what wild stuff comes up. Supposedly he's bi, or gay with a preference for black men, or he wanted to transition and was denied coverage by United Health Care, and so on and so forth. The only thing that's confirmed is that his spinal condition made physical intimacy difficult or impossibly painful.

Amending this: In addition, the drugs you take for chronic pain, which often include steroids, can also contribute to changes in the brain.
