Luigi Mangione's constitutional rights were violated by the police. From what I've read, he was not read his Miranda rights (which include the right to remain silent and have an attorney answer the police's questions instead). He was detained against his will, forcibly investigated, and put into a terrifying situation by the police. Like everyone else, Luigi has the right to be treated with fairness, integrity, and honesty. He is innocent until proven guilty.
Luigi has been overcharged, held in appalling, inhumane conditions, stripped of his dignity, his agency and his voice and is being made an example of by the corrupt powers that be. If there is no integrity within a justice system, then what purpose does it serve?
our fundamental human right to a fair trial is at risk. Evidence and testimonies are often ignored, quickly leading to dubious sentences and casting shadows on the principle of justice served. Our judicial system should ensure each individual's right to a fair trial, a cornerstone of our democracy and protected under the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
On behalf of a group of more than 600 people, we believe in everyone’s right to a fair trial! the way this case is being handled does not make us hard working civilians feel safe & we have little to no trust in those who are supposed to “protect us & shows that the media is controlled. It’s horrifying to think they’ll “make an example” out of this man and not feel a single shred of empathy for the family friends and supporters from around the world. Please do the right thing and give Luigi Mangione his right to a fair trial.
My Fellow Americans:
This case is living witness to everything that is wrong in a criminal legal system that abandons tenets and principles in pursuit, not of truth, but of a desire to be right, a desire to find someone, anyone, to slay the lust of its corporate Oligarch overlords.
Justice is meant to be blind for a reason. So she does not yield to position, power, riches, connection, resume.
Our current system reveals that it values certain American lives more than others based (it seems) on net worth, that it believes that actions from a C-suite cannot cause harm across the country: In hospitals, rehab centers and in difficult conversations around kitchen tables.
If a person who comes before the court isn't treated as innocent until proven guilty ...
If America no longer believes in the rights enshrined in the Constitution, a foundational document, than what right does any US citizens really have?
We have to examine and debate these questions now, as citizens of a nation slowing slipping out of our grasp.
