Federal prosecutors said no one from the state or federal government eavesdropped on a jailhouse phone conversation between Luigi Mangione and his lawyer.

    Prosecution: “We didn’t do it.”

    Defense: “Well, we have a recording of the call, and we sure didn’t record it.”

    Prosecution: “Uhhhh, there was a warning before the call that it would be recorded.”

    Defense: “Well, on the recording, no such warning exists…”

    Prosecution: “Ohhhh, that recording… Ummm, yeah, that was an intern, and they stopped listening as soon as they realized it was wrong. Pinky promise.”

    Man this dude just keeps getting hits to the system. This shit is spread wide open because one man decided not to be a fucking coward. He has put his life and freedom on the line. This is the definition of a hero.

      Humanity needs more Luigis for the cause of equality, the rampant capitalism has gotten way out of hand. It’s insane that 1% of the population owns 50% of the stock market.

        0.068% of the population owns 1.5% of the stock market… It’s the Norwegians with their pension fund!

        Funny how nationalization of natural resources and investing for the future can enrich a whole country instead of a few billionaires…

          another huge problem with the stock market is when they privatized retirement you have no thought investment. Huge amounts of the market value is due to there being nothing else to do with the money. Most of the extreme wealthy can’t do anything with their money so they throw it in and then retirement can’t be used until retirement so its thrown in. Only a really small set of investors are analyzing companies for actual profit potential. Its why the whole thing is such a house of cards now.

      I agree with you except that Luigi is innocent and being railroaded by the system. He’s a hero because he’s enduring cruel and unusual conditions and not letting it break him. The system needs him to be guilty because otherwise it becomes open season on CEOs, so they plan to publicly kill an innocent man.

    Well, which is it? It’s not Schrodinger’s eavesdrop. You either did it, or you didn’t. All this backpeddling just makes it sound like you definitely did but are trying to cover it up.

    So, I guess that means the federal prosecutor in charge recused himself for no reason, then?

    To be honest, this sounds like the defense attorneys are setting up anything they can to muddy the procedures and greeting the case thrown out.

    Realistically, it’s probably the only way for this trial to have an outcome other than Luigi getting a death sentence, because that’s surely what the prosecution is going for…
