Not exactly… It’s just complicated because they tried to throw everything at him.
The federal murder charge was dismissed. Which takes the death penalty off the table because there is no death penalty in New York State. There’s still other federal and state charges pending.
Yeah I think I would have heard if that had happened. I did hear about the death penalty being dismissed and while I’m not a big Luigi lover the way some are, I don’t support the death penalty so it’s certainly good news.
this is funny and everything but there was no reason for him to be in the mcdonalds, wearing the same outfit, carrying a buffet of incriminating evidence. It doesn’t make any sense at all. He’s probably innocent, like for real innocent. Or at worst a fall-guy for thompson’s wife, who gained the most feom his death and now doesn’t have to go through messy divorce proceedings to get her hands on a good chunk of his wealth. That should have been the starting point for the investigation, but the whole thing became a circus.
“I have this awesome ghost gun that’s basically impossible to trace back to me, so of course I think I’ll hold onto this instead of ditching it, but I’ll take the time to ditch this here backpack in central park.”
You’d have a hard time convincing me that the cops didn’t find the gun in that bag and wait to plant it on the first believable suspect to pop up. They had zero leads before that phone call came in, and they’re stiffing the rat that called out of that reward money they promised. They just needed to be able to say that nobody gets away with eating the rich.
Sounds like a misunderstanding by OP https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/30/luigi-mangione-death-penalty-dismissed

The FBI was under a lot of pressure to find a suspect. They could have planned that bag on him after they arrived.
cops would never falsify evidence, surely? certainly not the FBI, they’re all upstanding citizens
