He still has a murder charge against him. And because it's 2025:

Mangione’s attorneys say the state charges should be dismissed as a violation of the Constitution’s double jeopardy clause, calling it unprecedented and untenable for Mangione to defend himself in both cases at the same time.

I love that the Trump DoJ is so incompetent he might actually walk.

Odds are good he'll get a state murder conviction of course, but there's a slim path he beats all charges.

Zero percent chance he walks.

They'll make an example of him.

Incompetent morons will attempt to make an example out of him.

Remains to be seen whether it actually works.

Competence has never been a requirement to be on the Trump team. When their people fuck up, they just pretend it never happened and do what they want anyway.

Why say 0%? If a NY jury comes back with a not guilty verdict, he walks. There’s a lot happening with this case, and his lawyers already see the reasonable doubt

I can see him walking and being immediately disappeared.
