He is not going to get the injection or the firing squad according to some analysts. That is being brought up by the prosecution to have him quickly agree to a plea bargain accepting a lesser punishment (life without parole) so there wouldn’t be a lengthy trial and endless appeals. I’m not a criminal defense lawyer so take this with a grain of salt.

Isn’t that what happened with the Boston marathon killer? Get him to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty.
My lol was Eric Adams marching behind that mess of a perp walk

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev did not plead guilty, went to trial, was convicted, and is currently on death row in a federal prison (prior court proceedings vacated and then reinstated the death penalty for his case). His brother Tamerlan who was the other suspect died in a shootout with police.

Tamerlan was actually run over by Dzhokhar using the car they carjacked.

And I was thankful, as a person that walked by both pressure cooker bombs minutes before they went off.

I was lucky I got injured and scratched my Boston entry that year. May the Boston bomber rot in h*ll.

He was also shot multiple times; the death certificate mentioned both the gunshot wounds and blunt force trauma as causes of death.

Perhaps users thought that non-Renaissance artwork was OK. Of course they knew better
But to be clear, visual or written depictions of Luigi Mangione as a religious figure / martyr/ historical figure in any media are not allowed

I will be hoping for a speedy trial, less chance to escalate his folk hero status.

However, his high profile lawyers may have other ideas.

ABC News:
“Mangione spoke into a microphone, saying “Not guilty” to the 11 charges in the indictment, including first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism…
The high-profile defendant appeared to not have family in the courtroom. But about two dozen women, who waited in line in the frigid cold for public seats in the courtroom gallery, said they were there to support Mangione. Most of the women wore face masks and a few appeared visibly emotional as Mangione entered the courtroom.”
