Pull a Luigi

 

By now, everyone has become aware of the killing of the United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson and his alleged killer, Luigi Mangione...  if you are not aware, then you must not want access to the news.

Luigi was captured in Pennsylvania at a McDonalds where a guest spotted him and reported the sighting to a worker who subsequently called 911.

There are many people who believe that Luigi was JUSTIFIED in killing this CEO because "he" or "his company" rejected the claims of individuals who later died as a result of those rejected claims.

Since the CEO killed hundreds or more, it was acceptable for Luigi to kill the CEO in return.

To my limited knowledge, I don't believe this is how the justice system in the USA works.

Now, here is an interesting thought.  When Luigi finally goes to trial, will a jury of his peers find him not guilty or guilty?

Can the judge and more importantly, will the judge override the non-guilty verdict?

There are certain circumstances where a non-guilty verdict can be over-ruled or appealed...  will this case be one of those?
