3.00@AaronSimansky Attempted crimes, for the purposes of this question, means crimes committed as part of a different criminal transaction than the murder.
@OP The rules say,
Reference arrests: Must be documented arrests where the suspect/criminal explicitly cites Mangione or this case as inspiration/motivation
While this case uses the same phrasing as the Mangione case, I have yet to find information where that case is explicitly cited as motivation. I will continue looking.
@AaronSimansky feels like a bit of an obtuse interpretation. She explicitly cited Magione’s calling card, and said she used those words because of what was “in the news”. (Being the assassination case.)
How much more explicit does it need to be? If they reference Mangione by name, do we need his social security number too? If they reference the case, do we need the case number?
