I doubt it is a coincidence that a high profile attorney is announced for Mangione, and over the weekend his mother reveals that she has been desperately looking for him for almost a year.

It may well be that he went off the rails and has emotional and or mental health problems. What is likely, is that his defense is going to be, Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. What better way to get it out in public, to the whole possible jury pool that he dropped off the grid, with no family contact for many months. It may be applicable in this case, but his only hope of getting off, is by reason of insanity. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cnn-legal-analyst-and-former-manhattan-prosecutor-represent-suspect-killing
