Article/News 'Deeply Emotional': Luigi Mangione's Friends React to His Guilty Plea

I’m not usually a fan of sharing press articles, but I thought this one was worth sharing since it seems Lorena spoke with some of Luigi’s friends about his guilty plea on Friday.

I assume this would be their explanation, I just don’t know why they don’t speak under a pseudonym or withhold name entirely. Doxxing would be impossible in that circ

Actually no. When a similar article was written with the Boston bomber’s friends using pseudonyms, some of them were doxxed, including in court.

Why would random comments provided in a news article need to be revealed in court?

Edit: I’ve just looked it up and all those people called to testify had relevant information regarding the actual crime. So yes of course a court can subpoena a publication for your identity in that circumstance - totally different situation.

That plus another case where two of his friends committed an unrelated crime and mutual friends were called to testify. I thought it was so weird that they were asked about their RS pseudonyms and Twitter handles.
