About this episode
We went to see Luigi Mangione in court. September 16, 2025, in a New York State Courthouse, Mangione’s terrorism charges are dropped. The courtroom remains silent with court officers stationed at every corner. There are cheers from protestors right outside the courthouse. A strange energy clash between mainstream media and the members of the public who waited over 30 hours to get inside the courtroom. Protestors organized giant vans to circle the courthouse with Luigi Mangione’s face displayed on them. It feels like a big win for the Mangione legal team. Except… His attorneys argue that all 3 jurisdictions are fighting over who gets to be the one to take down Luigi Mangione. He still faces: Weapons charges in Pennsylvania. 2nd degree murder, weapons, and stalking charges in the state of New York. And the death penalty from the federal government.
