Luigi Mangione in court last Friday, Dec 12 for his pre-trial hearing.
Story behind the smile: The press photographers get 1 min at the start of every court hearing to photograph him before the day begins. They stand in front of him as if he’s a zoo animal and snap away. It’s probably very awkward for him and his team. According to accounts, this time, a photographer said “smile!” and he obliged.

Looks like the smile of a guy who set out to do something, executed it with aplomb, and appreciates that the overwhelming majority of people are, at the very least, understanding if not outright approving of the deed
Or it’s the smile of an innocent man who is confident that a jury would decide to nullify before convicting based on the state’s overzealous yet weak & dubious case
He’s like our John Dillinger.
Luigi was with me on that day
Does he have a hair and makeup team staying in the cell with him?
He’s positively glowing and I’m here for it.
What are the real possibilities of him getting off on this case? The police work on this is OJ level bad..it causes the shadow of doubt to enter the scene.
Ugh I was I was good looking
There is a *lot* wrong with the prosecutions case, that’s why he’s smiling.
He can’t take a bad picture.
He doesn’t have street cred with the whole nation. Billionaires hate him, so by my math it’s only 99.9997% of the nation.
Dave Franco is hoping Luigi will play him in his biopic.
This dude is getting a modeling career after this.
This guy he shot was pretty unsympathetic (true), but you still have to go to jail for killing somebody. He shot a guy in the back. Why is he being lionized? People are confusing their frustration with justification.
Never seen a more innocent smile
Why would anyone care if an “alleged” 🙄 cold blooded murder smiles.
He’s got a lock tight alibi
Just ask anyone, we were all hanging out with him that day
The photographer was heard telling him and his lawyer to smile for the photos.
If this dude wasn’t as attractive, he wouldn’t be as popular as he is now. Regardless of his innocence. He’d be clowned on heavily of he was chopped. That’s for very certain.
Yall are gonna be real disappointed when your newfound personality cult leader gets found guilty huh
Dude ruined his life and most people will forget about him in a year. He did absolutely nothing to change anything
and the crowd goes wild
If I owned a business he’d get free service 👍
Hilarious. Dude sits alone in a cell about 23 out of 24 hours a day minus lawyer visits. And has decades of that to look forward to. I’m sure he’s thrilled to be a celebrity on the internet. Maybe it’ll get him an extra piece of administrative food loaf. And still have that back pain, now cared for by … the Mew York prison system. I’m sure it’ll be much better health care.
I’m worried what’ll happen to him if he does get let go
