Transcript

00:00Luigi Mangione could be put to death if he is convicted in the federal case against him because

00:06this morning US Attorney General Pam Bondi said they are going to seek the death penalty said that it's in line with

00:14President Trump's

00:16message about being tough on crime and

00:20Cleaning up America. So that's why they're gonna go for the death penalty

00:24That did not sit well with

00:27Luigi's attorney Karen Agnifilo who had a very fiery response

00:34To that decision. She said by seeking to murder Luigi Mangione

00:37The Justice Department has moved from the dysfunctional to the barbaric while claiming to protect against murder

00:44The federal government moves to commit the premeditated state-sponsored murder of Luigi by doing this

00:51They are defending the broken immoral and murderous health care industry that continues to terrorize the American people

00:59Okay, boy a couple things. First of all, yeah

01:02Luigi Manning and Mangione lost the last presidential election perhaps more than anybody else did because Trump is

01:07Not going to back down from his demand for the death penalty in this case. It is consistent with the message

01:12He's been preaching second. I'm not sure that the right

01:16Tactic here is to suggest that it is somehow a justifiable homicide

01:21I think that argument was made early on and has been resoundingly sort of shut down by all quarters

01:27And I don't know at least in the court of public opinion. That's the best road to take

01:31Yeah

01:32well

01:32Although we have seen some people in the court of public opinion that back

01:35Mangione clearly and that are fighting for him, which I think is personally disgusting but you think about this though

01:42It's clear. It seems like she knows that she can't win this on the facts

01:45I mean, we just literally looked at the video of it happening

01:48And so she's trying to change the subject to something else to try to convince a few people

01:54Yeah, you you you may have just seen him commit a murder, but don't you hate the health care company?

01:59The odd thing is I think you're right that Karen Agnifilo clearly is very intelligent attorney has seen

02:06What the public response has been and well Pete the outrage over the health care system

02:11So I get that if you want to appeal to that

02:14That group

02:15That's but that again, that's the court of public opinion

02:18Is that gonna work legally that's who jurors that gonna work legally when you I mean, I guess you're right

02:23But jurors jurors are part of the court of public opinion

02:26You think about you know, the most famous case of the last few decades OJ Simpson

02:32We hear from a lot of the jurors that it really was payback for Rodney King and they some of them even thought yeah

02:38He was probably guilty, but they let him off anyways

02:40And so you could think that maybe that's the thing that's different about this case with Luigi Mangione is that there are three different trials

02:47There's Pennsylvania. There's New York and there's the federal case

02:51So to think that you're gonna be able to pull that off three times in a row is is hard to imagine

02:57Hey guys, what's up? This is diamond in Dallas now. Listen, Luigi. Is he guilty?

03:04Yes, does he deserve the death penalty?

03:07Absolutely

03:08Not he has too much of a of a fan base

03:14To kill this man. There's so many people that deserve the death penalty and it's not him

03:20I would not want his blood on my hands. No, ma'am Pam

03:25well, I mean this will also of course stir up a

03:29Bigger debate just about the death penalty in general every time that certainly when the federal government

03:36Goes after the death penalty you start having that conversation about whether

03:39Anything about President Biden basically took almost everybody off of death row federally except for just a few people

03:45Yeah, and so it's a very small number that are even left to potentially be executed. Yeah, that debate is definitely

03:52incoming
