The Luigi Mangione hearing attracted a large crowd in a warm, crowded hallway, filled with both locals and those who traveled from afar. The atmosphere was tense, blending anticipation and curiosity, evoking a sense of a spectacle. Media presence amplified the sense of drama surrounding the case of the murder of a CEO, which had become a viral sensation for its grim details and the suspect's striking appearance. The public's response was a mix of horror and amusement, indicating a broader commentary on societal attitudes toward crime and notoriety.
The days-long manhunt for a suspect, the backpack full of Monopoly money recovered by police, and finally, when law enforcement had arrested Mangione, the fact that they wouldn't stop releasing new photos of him.
Even before Mangione's picture was plastered on the web, the crime he ultimately was accused of was seen as inevitable, even righteous.
