Good one Toure. I would posit young Luigi's life has been in free fall for a long time, and may see themselves in him. Family wealth regardless.

This is so well written and tugged at my heart. I’ve wondered what it would be like if he were my son. They have to be grieving. It sounds like he’s been isolated by all accounts and probably grieving too. It’s very telling by his immediate folk hero status that a majority of Americans have also been grieving- for a better life. I’m glad to be witnessing this and reading excellent journalism such as this!

I would only say that his family is supporting him. The Mangione family in Maryland are a big deal. The lawyer the family hired shows love. Gilman School in Baltimore and Penn shows his family really cared about L’s growth. When you run large businesses like the Mangione family you have a Trust so your money is protected. His family set him up from jump street-like Day 1. He is drawing from the Trust. Luigi hired and paid for Karen Agnifilo. She is top notch! You have to be a bad ass to work in the Manhattan DA office.

He got the haircut at Huntington state prison in Huntington, PA. Near, not in, Altoona.
