Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.
The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.
Taking a bus isn’t a crime. And if you don’t have the files on the computer, or the backpack full of evidence, all you have is a guy who’s acting a little suspicious and looks like the guy in the video.
I’m saying he was smart enough to do this, and to evade authorities for 3 days, but dumb enough to be caught with a backpack full of evidence and the files on his computer. I’m not sure that adds up in my opinion.
Nobody chooses to sit on a bus for days nonstop unless they have to, and Luigi did not have to, it’s suspicious.
Right, suspicious. Suspicious doesn’t mean guilty, that’s not enough to convict someone in court.
