Mangione, 26, appeared in court wearing a green cable knit sweater over a white shirt. He was brought into the courtroom in leg and arm shackles and wearing a bulletproof vest.
Theater to make him look like a villain that people want to shoot at.
absolutely not. The federal charges have the death penalty attached.
Remember, the rich fucks need this to end. They certainly don’t want us getting ideas. And the fastest way to do that would be to have him wind up dead before they can drag his name through the mud in a show trial. that would turn him into a martyr.
Does the court decide that he has to wear the vest, or was that a decision by his team? I know the shackles are typically requested by the court, but my understanding is that the rest of a defendant’s wardrobe is their own decision.
Other appearances he’s made have been sans vest. I can’t imagine that anything has changed so much in the interim that his defense would want a vest on him.

The guy he killed was someone we would grow to hate. He isn’t like JFK who was extremely popular at the time.
Lol they said that and my first thought was, “what, is there a risk of some billionaire CEO bursting into the courtroom to exact revenge?”
You never know . When your rich and famous you can do whatever you want

Hey, it just takes one unhinged rich dude to not think for a second, and I can count many years of combined thoughtlessness from just one idiot alone.
He should complain that the vest is restrictive and that he can’t breathe.
Great idea, cry wolf so that people who really can’t breathe are ignored.
There could be interests making him a martyr of some kind, so CEOs will protect him.
I mean kinda…you know Trump’s type
idk even the MAGAts like Luigi
A billionaire can afford a hit man

Being in police custody, means they are legally responsible for his health and safety.
They can require something like a vest on those grounds.
So you’re saying they have a vested interest in his health?
