Donations are pouring in to a fundraiser for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down a healthcare executive, ahead of his birthday.
Mangione, who pleaded not guilty last month to federal murder charges related to the December 2024 death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, turns 27 on May 6. In honor of his birthday, donors are contributing to the GiveSendGo fundraiser for his legal defense, which is now closing in on $1 million.
As of Sunday evening, the fundraiser had garnered more than $977,000. His legal team has said that he plans to use the cash toward his defense in all three cases he faces.
A string of supporters in the past few days have donated $27 to the fund for his 27th birthday. In their donation messages, many included green hearts, an ode to the green-clad Mario video game character Luigi.
No one deserves to be on death row.
I actually got jury summons for federal court a month or so ago. I was fucking pumped that I might get to be the guy that convinced the rest of the jury to nullify Luigi’s jury.
Haven’t heard anything since completing the first steps as directed, so, guessing I’m not part of his juror pool. :-/
Well you won’t be NOW! You can’t just go online and say things like that. You bet your ass the government is spying on every hand selected jury member to make sure they don’t get…you.
Yeah. Best thing you can post online is that he is in fact a murderer no matter who he killed, and keep the rest for yourself, until later.
Probably.
May his due process be extremely thorough.
And his jury be well informed.
