Mangione said that he endured physical pain for years.

“I shot Mr Thompson in Manhattan and he died,” he continued.

“When I did so, I understood that my actions would place him in fear of death or serious bodily injury,” he said. “I knew what I was doing was illegal.”

      He’d better get a hell of a plea deal bargain out of this.

      I’m fucking pissed that he’s not even giving jury nullification a chance.

        No plea deal was made. The prosecution intends to seek the maximum penalty, life in prison.

        This was done to avoid being charged for 2nd degree murder and various weapons related charges.
