Why does he need a vest? This is the first thing both the left and right have agreed on in a long time.
The vest is bullet and stab resistant, they make violent offenders wear them in case somebody wants to hurt them.
Funny, because nobody wants to kill him. He is more likely to get a pat on the back than a bullet to the back.
Protect him from the crossfire in case an acorn falls nearby.
I get that reference. Holy shit!
That's exactly the point. They're trying to make it look like people want to kill him. So those that are just following the headlines and pictures make certain assumptions.
Fruit of the poison tree, if they can prove it.
What does this mean?
The others have already answered, but I'll leave you with this nice summary, and a link to the best source of law info for the commonfolk in america there is.
Luigi Mangione’s next scheduled court date is June 26, 2025. It is unclear if Luigi will appear for his Pennsylvania court hearings and there are currently no appearances scheduled for his federal case. If he is indicted on his federal charges, he will appear in person to be arraigned.
Megathreads from the other place (sorry) with more info, livestream footage etc:

Lemmy was oddly quiet a few hours after the trial, so I figured you'd all like to share in my rabbithole.
I kinda hope Luigi being declared guilty cause a George floyd-esque public response.
A judge could give the same sentence as Trump: nothing, because he has important work to do and can't be bogged down by things like prison, probation, or fines. There's precedent now.
Yep, I guess he just needs to run for President and then killing healthcare CEOs is an official act and legal, according to the Supreme Court.
AOC/Luigi 2028?
"I did what Trump does not have the balls for. I shot an executive on the street."
Screw it, I'm down for Luigi Mangione 2028.
Oh shit that's right! Luigi 2028 has my support. Even if all he does is seize the assets of the most notoriously unethical CEOs we'd be 1000X better off than now. Make robber barons afraid dammit.
The bar is very low:
Is he a Nazi? Is he Putin's bitch?
No? Perfect!
