Agree but doesn't explain why he would be carrying so much incriminating stuff around with him.

Maybe because he wanted to get caught? Or at least expected it and knew there was no way he'd get away with it.

  "it's equally possible that he didn't have this stuff on him, but it was planted by the police themselves." That would mean, there is a 50% chance that in general all the evidence has a 50% chance of being fake. And this is likely a bit of a exxageration.

    Just because there are 2 possibilities doesn’t mean they’re both equally probable.

      "it's equally possible" The word equally possible implies equal chances for me. Otherwise it is equally possible, that the evidence was in fact planted by aliens.

        For what it's worth, to me, "it's equally possible" means "it's also possible, however remotely". I know it doesn't make sense, but, then again, neither does "I could care less".

        I think in casual speech "equally possible" usually is taken to mean "also possible." I think most people would say "equally likely" to express what you're saying.

        For what it’s worth, I am a native English speaker and I disagree with the other poster. I would interpret “equally possible” similarly to how you did.

        Thank you, I suspected as much. That it is at least ambiguous.
        dartos 2y ago
        Isn’t English fun? I think “possible” has a less precise connotation than “probable” which suggests some statistics.

    Imagine believing that cops don't plant evidence. LOL

      You don't have to believe it never happens to believe the odds aren't 50%. It provably does happen, but 50% is a high probability.

  Not it’s not. If they planted his back pack then surely his high profile pro bono lawyers are going to get him out of it.
  - mkmk 2y ago
    Why would they be pro bono? He comes from a very wealthy family.

      Lawyers tripping over each other to have their names associated with a potentially historic case. Remember how the Kardashian family originally became famous and some of them are billionaires now.

Kardashian was the man seen carrying Simpson's garment bag the day that Simpson flew back from Chicago. Prosecutors speculated that the bag may have contained Simpson's bloody clothes or the murder weapon. > As one of Simpson's lawyers and a member of the defense "Dream Team", Kardashian could not be compelled or subpoenaed to testify against Simpson in the case, which included Simpson's past history and behavior with his ex-wife Nicole, and as to the contents of Simpson's garment bag.

        That's a very fun fact. Thanks for sharing.

  There's already been a suggestion from Luigi that the money was planted.

My theory is that he wasn’t done assassinating CEOs. It’s the obvious answer as to why he still had the gun on him.
- ayewo 2y ago
  Assuming this (now deleted) post outlining his justification was indeed penned by the killer, he clearly had a motive to kill UH’s CEO but not others. https://archive.is/2024.12.09-230659/https://breloomlegacy.substack.com/p/the-allopathic-complex-and-its-consequences https://archive.is/2024.12.09-230659/https://breloomlegacy.s...

    Given the wealth of Luigi Mangione's family, if he's the killer, this sounds unlikely to be penned by him (or at least his own story).
    - itchyouch 2y ago
      Just because his family is wealthy does not mean that his mother was financially supported for her healthcare. It's quite possible that the family patriarch held the purse strings and deemed that health insurance was the line for their financial support. I'm in a similar situation with a family member and we are spending around 4-5k/month in a variety of non-allopathic strategies for this family member's health care. However, the family patriarch has drawn the line where his financial support is in providing housing, so the 4-5k is picked up by other family members.

        You can be a literal millionaire and bled dry by mounting health insurance claim denials. There is little anyone can do to protect themselves from this outcome, save for not getting sick or becoming a billionaire. The health system in the US is insanely broken.
