Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania — about 230 miles west of New York City — after a McDonald's customer recognized him and notified an employee.

[Brandonmark]

Is this case going to be in the Bragg district?

[HollyB]

He has back problems and apparently can’t perform due to pain.
He had a back surgery early November and disappeared afterwards.

[steve86]

Yep, that short woman LEO was a couple feet below most of the action!

[Morgana]

“I’m a patsy”

Juries generally don’t like defendants who explain that they did the murder to make new public policy.

It suggests that the jury is being encouraged to declare open hunting season on health insurance executives.

That is kinda a big ask.

[BenLurkin]

An articulate nutcase. Like Ted Bundy. Swell.

As for the insurance industry. If one of its executives being shot in the back leads to more attacks on the industry...then the world has truly turned into a sick, sick place.

[BenLurkin]

Can’t perform what due to pain? He LARPed Assassin’s Creed with relish, and a smile.

[Varsity Flight]

Presumption of innocence....

Main statement by his attorney of 41years of practice.

[steve86]

“He will come across as a selfish spoiled kook.”

Maybe, but might have founded a major insurance reform movement. No one is going to be “not mad” at the insurance companies because some assassin is off his rocker.

[Varsity Flight]

And the attorney has not seen any evidence of a crime being committed yet, and believes for bail, if not a life or capital charge in PA.

[AmericanMermaid]

I thought that immediately, too. No girlfriend or wife, on top of that, but he also looks very effeminate in some pictures.

[SaxxonWoods]

“If one of its executives being shot in the back leads to more attacks on the industry...then the world has truly turned into a sick, sick place.”

Examples of sickness right here if you read the comment threads.

[Varsity Flight]

The attorney was also hired.

[cgbg]

That would be fine if that happens—if he wants to be a martyr he needs to stand up like a man and proudly accept his punishment.

I think what you are going to get is a whiny brat who wants to have their cake and eat it too.

[Varsity Flight]

And the attorney is to enter a not guilty plea.

[Varsity Flight]

Actually, the attorney has told his client to remain silent.

Dickey Law

[plain talk]

He yells "I'm just a patsy. The one you want is on Alvin Bragg's team ..."

[Starboard]

“He will come across as a selfish spoiled kook.”

************

But maybe not the only kook. We don’t yet know if he’s a lone wolf.

[cgbg]

I saw that.

Keeping this client silent may be easier said than done.

The guy probably wants to give a public policy lecture to anyone who will listen.

He thinks is Michael Moore or something.

Lol.

[cgbg]

He seems kinda unstable to form and maintain a functioning conspiracy at this point—imho.

He just seems to want to lecture everybody—like he is going to convert podunk LEOs into single payor groupies.
