Summary
Sam Beard, organizer of Luigi Mangione’s legal defense fund, claims the dramatic “perp walk” resembling Hannibal Lecter’s treatment backfired on New York authorities, boosting donations to over $743,000.
Mangione, charged with murder and terrorism for allegedly killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, received heightened security during extradition, drawing public sympathy.
Critics argue the campaign glorifies violence, while supporters emphasize fair trial rights.
Mangione, who pleaded not guilty, faces the death penalty if convicted.
It’s about being factual. Let’s not make this Reddit 2.0 with bs.
Also yes. Reddit is terrible at decided how crimes must have happened from an AP article with nothing but the main people’s names.
Reddit is where the wackos who will cancel you for suggesting any hint of “guilt” are! How is this any different? You can think the guy did it without believing he is guilty of murder or manslaughter.
I think you both have a point.
