Kim Kardashian has a long history of fighting for Americans who are victimized by our country’s criminal justice system.
He has fought for high-profile prisoners like the Menendez brothers, but he has also won pardons for little-known victims of overzealous judges, including people who were serving life sentences on drug charges .
The mother of four is also pursuing a law degree so she can better serve those unjustly imprisoned.
Now, Kim’s fans are urging him to focus his attention on this year’s most talked about murder case.
How does Kim Kardashian figure into the week’s top news story?
As you’ve undoubtedly heard by now, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione has been arrested for the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.
So far, Kim has had no involvement with Luigi, and has not commented on his alleged transgressions — but her fans are hoping that changes soon.
“Free Luigi Mangione for us. Forgive us,” wrote one X user.
Another said: “Chili I know Kim Kardashian is already going to meet Luigi.”
A third said, “I give Kim Kardashian 48 hours before she reaches out to Luigi for both a modeling contract and a prison sentence reform.”
Needless to say, Luigi has a lot of supporters on social media and many of them are convinced that Kim can and should be the only one who can secure his freedom.
Will Kim reach out to Luigi?
Obviously, it’s unlikely that Kim will represent Luigi in court.
For one thing, he is not yet a licensed attorney. Furthermore, Luigi is probably looking to hire a lawyer who has actually worked on a murder trial before.
It seems this is an area where experience matters.
But hopefully Kim is taking this unexpected attention as a compliment.
Eventually, she became someone who was widely dismissed as a shallow reality star, now considered the first name in criminal justice reform.
This is quite an achievement.
Kim has never shied away from controversy, and we’re sure she’ll offer her thoughts on the Luigi situation at some point.
But she will probably refrain from advocating for his release.
After all, CEO assassination is the hottest issue these days. And Kim spent six years of marriage embroiled in political controversy over just one person.
She probably could use a break.
