Looks like it really is springtime for Luigi Mangione. He may not have to rely on jury nullification to walk free. DEI could do the job:

According to his lawyers, Mangione’s backpack was illegally searched right after police found him at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. Now they’re demanding that everything inside be tossed from the case.

And if a judge agrees, the entire case could fall apart, and one of the most high-profile murder trials in recent memory could blow up over a mistake made by a female officer.

But sadly, this isn’t just about one bad call. It’s about a dangerous pattern driven by DEI hiring, where meeting diversity quotas is more important than choosing the best people for one of the hardest, most stressful jobs on the planet.

Where people are hired based on DEI rather than merit, competence will inevitably suffer.

Whereas DEI imposes mediocrity on the police, Mangione can afford top-notch lawyers. As with lavishly funded Black Lives Matter, liberals are opening their wallets to showcase their conception of virtue. At last word, Mangione’s defense fund was approaching $1 million. That kind of money should buy a lawyer who can place at least one Taylor Lorenz onto the jury — assuming the case even gets to trial.
