The fact he was “found” in the most nonchalant way at McDonald’s with the evidence on him is very suspicious. And then he just walked around with it for 2 days? Dude, I’m ditching and burning everything in the first hour. I know criminals are supposed to be dumb. But come on, this guy doesn’t look dumb.
Especially given the shooter printed parts of the weapon and had no cellphone on them when they shot Brian McEvilCEO or whatever his name was. And then hopped on a scooter and left the island without a trace. So much planning went into the prep and, ahem, execution of the plan that holding into blatant evidence like a signed confession 2 days after the fact doesn’t make any sense. It screams planted evidence on a person who vaguely looked like the only screenshot I’ve ever seen of the ahooter smiling.
At the very least I have very reasonable doubts and would not be selected for the jury.
Another thing that gets me is that Mangione seems like just the kind of guy you would try to pin something like this on. He was a queer kid, estranged from his family (or at least out of contact for a prolonged period), and living in a hostel. Isn’t that the oldest police trick in the book when they want to “solve” a case, blame it on some drifter from out of town?
