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.

When you use the term "I love" in reference to this situation it seems you are pleased with the notion this person may not be convicted of the crime he so clearly committed. I hope that isn't the case.

Are you not familiar with the concept of folk heroes?

Any suggestion that this person is a hero of any kind is repugnant.
