Law of Self Defense
http://lawofselfdefense.com/
Luigi Mangione's New York defense team briefly floated an Extreme Emotional Disturbance defense against his murder charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson -- then pulled it back almost immediately.
Today we break down exactly what happened, what that defense actually means under New York law, and why the lawyers may have thought better of it within hours of announcing it—as well as the implications for all this for Mangione’s parallel prosecution taking place in the federal courts.
The Extreme Emotional Disturbance defense is not an acquittal strategy. At best, it reduces a murder conviction to manslaughter. Choosing it also requires the defense to essentially concede that Mangione did the killing, which is a significant tactical problem when you have not yet tested the prosecution's evidence at trial.
The rapid reversal tells us something important: the defense is under real pressure. The evidence connecting Mangione to the Thompson killing is substantial and public. We look at what that evidence is, why an emotional defense likely makes it worse, not better, and what realistic options remain for the defense as the case moves forward.

Episode #M 1364.
NOTE: We mostly ended up covering Bessent's recent speech last week at the Reagan Library.
Yesterday the great and powerful Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent absolutely WRECKED House Democrats during a hearing of the House Ways & Means Committee.
And that was only day after he had done the same to Senate Democrats in a hearing of the Senate Finance committee.
What is best in life, Bessent the Barbarian? To crush your Democrats, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their gender confused!
Trump just shared with America all the winning his administration has already secured for the nation, as well as all the winning coming down the road.
Yesterday was Trump’s 12th publicly aired cabinet meeting, all in his first 14 months in office. This contrasts sharpy with a mere three that Biden held in the same time frame of his administration.
Join me as I break down the second half of this lengthy cabinet meeting and celebrate all the winning.
