There is no evidence this is an official donation fund
As per this reddit post, just FYI:
His full name is registered with the state of PA as: LUIGI MANGIONE.
Inmate Number QQ7787.
Currently at SCI Huntingdon (yes HUNTINGDON)
Address for mail: LUIGI MANGIONE, QQ7787, SCI Huntingdon, PO Box 33028, St Petersburg, FL, 33733
All mail is scanned by a third-party and then a copy is provided to them, so don’t even think about sending something “extra”.
To send money (everyone needs money in jail, even $10 goes a long way) you have to go through JPay. And again, need to use his name, LUIGI MANGIONE, and inmate number QQ7787
DOB is 05/06/1998
If anyone that’s done time recently in PA sees something is missing in this info, please leave a comment.
It is really weird that it’s a florida address for a PA prison.
It is weird, but that’s the “third party company” that scans the mail and sends a copy.
So, $130M donated to Trump’s legal defense fund. $55K to Luigi’s.
It’s sitting just under $90k last I checked.
Still horseshit as you’re pointing out though.
Just FYI give send go is a Christian fund raising site that supports January 6th rioters, and it sounds like they are going to use the donation money for other cases. I disputed the charge on my card and got it refunded after I learned that
Think I’ll be put on a list of I donate?
Yes, you’ll be put on the list of donors. But also it may not be a legitimate donation fund.
I meant a government watch list lol. And I don’t plan on donating until an official one is announced.
You’re already on the government watch list
Lemmy is the government watch list.
Lemmy is the government watch list.
He 100% needs a better lawyer…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Jav3T2K00
The one he has now is probably just the only lawyer in Altoona.
Really? Dude seems like a pro to me.
He has 30+ years of criminal defense experience, and clearly has some media training (which let’s face it, that’s going to be critical in this case in particular).
The guy has even successfully appealed the PA supreme court. What more are you looking for in a defense lawyer, exactly?
and clearly has some media training
I admit I haven’t watched the entire press conference…
But I think our standards have been drastically lowered by the last election if the dude in that video qualifies as “clearly having some media training”.
I found this
But it’s like I said, he’s a small time lawyer.
The most noteworthy case in that article was a robbery turned double murder where the defendant is clearly guilty. I didn’t see anything about appealing the PA SC, but whether or not that’s impressive is highly dependent on the exact case. And it’s not as rare as you seem to think it is.
I’m not saying he’s a bad lawyer.
Just that he’s not the caliber lawyer Luigi needs when the full force of the government is going to come down on him.
He needs an entire legal team.
I’ll donate to his cause!
Just be careful of this particular one, it isn’t an official one.
Yep, just waiting on a official announcement.
let’s get another two or three adjustments going while he’s locked up
That’s it??
The article is from yesterday, and slightly updated.
It looks like it’s now up to $83k
For how hard fundraising for Luigi has been suppressed, I’m shocked it even got this far at all.
I feel like it could be at $100M overnight with the right advertising…
The trial hasn’t even been scheduled as far as I’m aware. By the time it rolls around that fund is going to be much bigger.

Yeah, they’re gonna try to wait as long as they possibly can for the trial so people forget about it and lose the sense of solidarity that’s been developed around him.
I never heard of that place before and I hope a lot of people were not too knee-jerk about it. It wasn’t like, “official” in any sense that I could see.
Lock him up and throw away the key. And, f yo downvotes.
Even if it is the right guy, nah.
This is explicitly what the 2A is meant for, to deal with tyranny.
Tyranny?
tyranny ˈtɪr(ə)ni
noun
- cruel and oppressive government or rule.
- a state under cruel and oppressive government.
- cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control.
- (especially in ancient Greece) rule by one who has absolute power without legal right.
You must know health insurance has a contract with pages of what is covered what is not. But cool, jump on the popular bandwagon for upvotes.
I don’t think recalling 15 pages of legal jargon is on someone’s mind when they need emergency medical care. But hey, they totally deserved it for taking an ambulance instead of driving themselves to the nearest in-network hospital 90 minutes away /s

I have been called a bootlicker for saying I think he probably killed Thompson. This is what actual bootlicking looks like
why does he need a defense fund? He’s going to be defended either way.
if they convict him, which they probably will based on DNA and overwhelming evidence, and send him to jail. would he need to pay his lawyers back for their time?
A team of lawyers is going to be much better for him than a single public defender ever can do.
As of right now we have no solid understanding of what evidence there is against him, because the cops could be saying anything they like.
Did he give a sperm sample or something at the crime seen? What DNA?
And public defenders though they are as skilled as any attorney are very much overworked in many places. Private counsel can offer more attention to the details of a case and spend time researching potentially novel theories to defend their client.
They can sample DNA now if you’ve simply been in the area. They can sample it off the backpack he discarded in the park. They can sample it off the shell casings. They have his movement across many cameras.
Remember, they only have to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt”.
I think lemmy users need to get their head out of their asses with the “we really don’t know if he did it” thing. As much as anyone might think the crime was justified, the evidence is pretty solid. And with such an emotional newsworthy case, they’re not going to bring it to trial unless the evidence is beyond reproach.
What do you think DNA is? The thing outside a criminals’s gloves? IRL isn’t CSI Miami. Go swap a NYC sidewalk and see what you get. That’d be a needle in a haystack.
Remember, they only have to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt”.
This is like saying remember marathon runners only need to run 26.2 miles.
It’s not having our “head [in our] asses” it’s a decent respect for the freestanding system of laws. Social media vilianizing or martyrizing people alleged of cromes isn’t beneficial for true justice.
They also said they have fingerprints from a water bottle. If that’s true, they can probably get DNA from that. If they actually need DNA.
