UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione suggests evidence ‘planted’ after arrest
Excerpt:
Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.
“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.
After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”
“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.
You're viewing a single thread.
They don't need to plant money. The physical evidence is more than enough.
They just want to make it look like he’s a flight risk so he is held without bail.
Nobody is going to give him bail. Murder charge.
What? People being charged with murder get bail all the time.
Here's two examples, because I was searching for the second and misremembered his last name as "Perry" instead of "Penny", but conveniently there was another person subjected to a murder charge who also had a bail set.

Those aren't charges of Murder 1.
Neither is the charge for Mangione.
The charges haven't been brought as of yet from NY. The paperwork is not done.
What, do you think the DA doesn't know what charges they'll file? Or that the judge in PA is making his judgment on bail based not on stated intentions, but charges that no one has even mentioned?
Hmmmm. I'm not a lawyer, but I'd say that since Hocul hasn't submitted the extradition paperwork yet, with its charging narrative, the NY DA is using as much time as they can. My guess would be that they are still investigating malice of forethought, which is important in a murder case.
Aimt it amazing how this guy gets caught with a full evidence package for prosecution?
Where is the body camera footage of the arrest?
Hmmm
In due course.
Trust the process 🤡
Was that the rally cry at Uvalde, too? How anyone can rust the fucking cops after that display is beyond me.
Seems pretty circumstantial to me so far.
They've got DNA, fingerprints and probably the gun. I wouldn't call that circumstantial
That's what they said... Do you believe everytbing government and media tells you now?
Well I don't believe everything is a conspiracy
Ohh will pulling this old reliable...
Politics and accusations of conspiracy isnhow conversation is generally derailed online haja
That's all circumstantial evidence.
But then again, circumstantial evidence simply means "not eyewitness evidence". It does not mean "unreliable evidence", and people are convicted all the time based on circumstantial evidence.
There were people on the street. He isn't the first person found guilty and wearing a mask.
Sure, it's possible someone present at the murder could identify him. But it's not necessary. He wouldn't be the first person found guilty based on video footage.
Sure, but the prosecution will probably use both.
