Taylor Lorenz is inserting herself into the Luigi Mangione case — nicely, hypothetically — ‘trigger she’s weighing in on what her verdict can be if she had a seat on that trial jury.

The ex-Washington Put up columnist swung by “TMZ Reside” Monday … and we grilled her on which route she’d go on Luigi’s destiny — responsible with the demise penalty, responsible with jail time, or not responsible through jury nullification. Let’s simply say, it wasn’t a straightforward name for the outspoken journo.

Test it out … Taylor tells us she’s firmly towards the demise penalty, in order that one’s off the desk — however on the subject of the opposite two choices, she’s torn … as a result of we’ve not seen the potential proof offered but.

In reality, she by no means fairly lands on a agency reply — she’s caught up weighing all of the angles, like Luigi’s alleged motive, which has earned him hero standing in some circles. However, she factors out the jury’s job is to stay to the information offered and make the decision based mostly on chilly, exhausting proof. As you already know, Luigi’s been charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan avenue in December.

You may bear in mind, Taylor garnered fierce controversy within the wake of Thompson’s homicide after people interpreted one in every of her social media posts as her calling for extra violence towards healthcare execs — however regardless of this, she makes it clear to us she’s not out right here calling for all healthcare execs to be gunned down on the street.
