Trump is going to fuck around and make this an inflection point with his voter base.

I knew he wouldn't be able to stay out of it. And it's only going to get worse during the trial when mainstream media keeps trying to demonfy this guy while the vast amount of Americans view him as Robin Hood.

This is going to be a bigger trial than OJ or Casey Anthony, and this is going to be one of the rare cases where the people side with the defendant. Other big cases most people wanted the defandent guilty but they got off.

But Luigi is either going to get off and likely get into politics, or lose and become a literal martyr.

There's no path for the wealthy to win, especially since everyday thousands of Americans cross the line to "nothing left to lose".

Thousands cross the line but still believe in the American dream, so they'll swallow the red pill because it is strawberry flavored.

The stupifyingly wealthy are nothing if not fuck mothering stupid. They have no idea how the world works, they don't know the first thing about humans, and they certainly don't understand actions have consequences.

I was under the impression that Luigi Mangione is INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty by a jury of his peers. That's it.

Seeking the death penalty isn't a conviction. They are just saying they are making their case for that sentancing, likely also signaling that no plea agreement would be accepted.

Though they likely don't want to play fair, they want to send a message.

hence the word "seek"
