Multiple Department of Justice employees "may have violated" Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial through public comments and social media posts, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday -- and it could end up swaying the judge to grant a defense motion to take the death penalty off the table.

      Given the general discontent with healthcare it feels inevitable. People identify with Mangione’s plight in a way they don’t with the money grubbing CEO.

      Just knowing about this can disqualify you from being on a jury. And lying about knowing about it can get you a jail sentence.

        Possession of weed can also get you a jail sentence. What’s your point?

          The point is that you should probably stop smoking weed cause your brain has become mashed potatoes. If you are disqualified from the jury you can’t help anything and if you get arrested for lying they will change the entire jury, considering it completely compromised.

          The real point is, stop talking about it. Choose instead to talk about how innocent you think the man is so that you don’t risk tainting potential jurors who might be sympathetic to your point of view.

          I’m not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.

            you should probably stop smoking weed cause your brain has become mashed potatoes.

            That’s the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard. You really bought into that fried egg propaganda commercial, didn’t you?

              No, I was also just making a joke because what you commented was idiotic.

              However, I’ve smoked weed and lived around people who smoke weed. So I’m quite familiar with the effects and you should probably cut down.

                I have only has second hand contact to weed. There’s nothing for me to cut down on.

      I don’t think even that is necessary. The prosecution has been so flimsy that a simple acquittal will do.

      This really seems like a scenario where that’s the ideal result. Even assuming he were guilty and the prosecution were able to prove it, he should not be convicted based on the extenuating circumstances of exploitative healthcare costing needless harm and death to millions
