He has a bachelors and a masters in computer science from UPenn. He had a Faraday bag with him when taken into custody. Thousands in cash, including unidentified foreign currency and his passport.

And we haven't even gotten to the DNA evidence yet.

He's got an attorney now.

At one point, Mangione's lawyer began telling the judge that his client may have been wearing a medical mask when he was arrested because of fears of Covid-19. Mangione, sitting near his lawyer, began to say "I bought the mask " and was quickly interrupted by his lawyer, who shushed him and said "No, no. Don't say a word."

Mangione's lawyer also asked the judge to set bail, which the judge refused to do. Mangione will continue to be held at a Pennsylvania prison as his extradition proceedings continue.

Fighting extradition will not be successful but it will delay getting him back to NY and arraigned on murder charges, among others. Be about a month or a month and half.

What evidence is needed to convict him of murder? Would a murder weapon in your possession be enough for a conviction? What about the possibility the weapon could be passed to an accomplice?

I'm not saying he didn't do this. But I'm also not totally convinced he was working alone unless NYPD says otherwise and provides more evidence that he was and pulled the trigger. He definitely had some intel about when and from which exit Thompson would be leaving the hotel.

Ballistics matching the gun to the bullets that struck Thompson.
Information from the burner phone, location data, etc.
Touch DNA and fingerprints from the burner phone
DNA and other forensic evidence from the jacket found in the back pack from Central Park
DNA and other forensic evidence from the hostel room
Digital evidence from his laptop

And for the record, means, opportunity are critical elements for a premeditated murder charge but motive is not.

I'm no attorney but I don't think whether or not he had an accomplice that doesn't get identified or captured would prevent him being charged and convicted. I think prosecutors will be able to lay out a very strong case that this guy was the shooter.

I am an attorney (but corporate not criminal) however I would advise alot of you to study the following:

The felony murder rule is a rule that allows a defendant to be charged with first-degree murder for a killing that occurs during a dangerous felony,

even if the defendant is not the killer.

What is the felony here that would make the felony murder rule applicable?

He did not rob him that I know of, did he?

You can't use "New York gun laws" as the underlying felony to convict a non-shooter of felony murder.

He'll be charged with murder 2 and that's that. In New York, the punishment for second-degree murder is 15 years to life in prison. However, the sentence depends on several factors. Don't think any apply here. He's toast and will grow old in prison

Thanks, but that has nothing to do with my question!


A poster said that an accomplice could be charged with felony murder, which is a term under the common law for when a person can be charged with murder even if they didn't go the actual killing.

I am trying to find out what the heck he's talking about!

Posts to X are often recycled and used on other platforms like Instagram where using the word rape for example will definitely get your post a lower view count.

Also the AI instagram uses can read text found in picture format. It has to be done if you want your posts to get traction or views.

I was just wondering, if (and that's a big "if) they don't have anything else from the crime scene that directly links back to Mangione, could he just be charged with "accessory to murder" and not murder.

He could be charged with anything and he can make any defense he wants to make, but the prosecution isn't going to define their charges on what he says happened when they've caught him red-handed with cash, fake ids, and the murder weapon.

He can get on the stand and say that some guy on the bus gave him the bag and that he didn't have anything to do with it, but the jury probably isn't going to buy that and won't believe him. Just raising a defense doesn't get you off the hook, especially if it's not a credible defense.

Too much CSI and now everyone thinks you have to have DNA, video, and the a literal smoking gun before you can find somebody guilty beyond a "reasonable" doubt.

You've been watching too much CSI. Do you have any idea how many people have been convicted of murder based on little more than circumstantial evidence? They have a ton of evidence against this guy.

Because they are afraid.
I was one discussing a rape investigation. Twitter has some bots that flag that word and blocked my account. I could not get it opened again even though I appealed. This is the 2nd time I got blocked for using the word "rape". It was totally non-threatening, but they took it to be so.

Why not 1st degree? It seems like they could prove it was premeditated and intended to kill him.

Crazy that a guy like this would do something like that. Yeah I'm sure he will enjoy the positive attention for a few months during the trial, but dude seemed to have his whole life in front of him and was living life on easy mode.

The "manifesto".
Quote:

To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.

This. It was rather lucky that the guy was caught. Wearing a mask in Altoona probably was not the smartest move.

Are we going to get a pre-trial Jailhouse exclusive interview? Sounds like he wants to talk.

All he wants to do is talk directly to the public. He set off multiple videos from accounts that were meant to be aired after he was arrested but YT already identified some of the accounts and took them down before they could.

And authorities/machine are going to do everything in their power to limit the words he's allowed to speak directly to the public.

Nothing new or groundbreaking when a true believer like this wants their fame and to 'start a revolution'
Could say the same about all of the jailhouse interviews we have ever seen. Hell, one time we interviewed Bin Laden in person.

That's strange never heard of any accomplices. Don't really think there were any. Sounds more and more like this dude was acting out a video game in real life. He best sharpen up his boxing game because Rikers Island is no joke. And if he winds up in Upstate Max he's in deep doo doo
