Inside Luigi Mangione's first Christmas behind bars at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, where he shares space with Sean "Diddy" Combs and sleeps on a two-inch mattress. As his $89 Nordstrom sweater sells out nationwide and supporters brave 11-degree weather outside courthouses, we examine how an accused assassin became an unlikely cultural phenomenon. From his viral court appearance to the troubling rise of 3D-printed ghost guns, this episode reveals new developments in America's most controversial murder case. Through exclusive prison insights and courtroom details, we explore how a programmer accused of terrorism spends his days in a facility that lawyers call "not fit for pre-trial detention." Meanwhile, legal experts warn that growing public support could lead to jury nullification, raising questions about whether prosecutors have overcharged the case. This episode examines the intersection of social media, justice, and a healthcare system in crisis.
