Body snatchers all over again like they did in 1800s England.

@christophertsiliacos8958

With suspect Luigi Mangione’s hero worship, cultlike following all he needs is one juror to vote not guilty for the charge of 1st degree murder at his trial, and you have a hung jury evoking jury nullification. If he is tried twice followed by a second hung jury, he will more than likely be released. I don’t think New York City will invest the time and money for a third very expensive criminal trial.
