I find it interesting more people aren’t discussing the fact that nobody actually told him what he was being charged with before his court appearance. Did he not have time to get a lawyer?
Additionally, both claims of cash and a Faraday bag seem like they’re stretching for anything to hold him.
From CNN: The judge read the entire criminal complaint out loud to Mangione after the suspect said that no one had read it to him prior to that moment.
Mangione verbally pushed back against two claims from prosecutors in court — first a claim that because Mangione was found with $8,000 in cash on him that he was trying to evade authorities.
The other claim was that because he had a Faraday bag on him, which blocks cell signal — this showed evidence of criminal sophistication. Mangione said to the first claim that he did not know where the money he had on him came from, saying maybe it was planted. On the second claim, he said that the bag was waterproof and he didn’t know about criminal sophistication.

This is wild. So his YouTube account is in doubt?
Hopefully he remains alive long enough to have a say about the claims against him. The whole thing reeks, and the cynical side of me can’t help but wonder if the truth may end up covered up and buried with him
And you believe him?

This is typical in a police state: you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent.
I love conspiracies but c’mon. None of that sounds remotely believable 😂
And he has reason to do it, looking several pictures about that day the pics of him, I don’t find too much coincidences between them two, even when the jacket covers most part of the body as long as the face mask , I hope he can really defend himself
Excellent! And I believe him.
