I’m a professional ‘line-sitter’ — and now I have requests for the Luigi Mangione trial
NY Post
Brandon Sutton stood in line for six hours — from 1:45 a.m. until 7:45 a.m. Friday — to secure a spot in the courtroom for Luigi Mangione’s trial.
“It was freezing cold, women were trying to cut in line,” Sutton, 49, of Brownsville, told The Post.
“There’s like a Ted Bundy effect on people,” he said, likening Mangione to the notorious 1970s serial killer.
But Sutton didn’t weather this morning’s frigid temperatures and predawn darkness for his own sake.
As a professional line-sitter, Sutton, alongside two colleagues, Tim and Brian, sacrificed snugness and sleep for a Mangione-crazed female client.
The anonymous gal paid them $25 an hour to score her a prime spot in line for one of the Manhattan Supreme Court seats open to the public as Mangione, 26, is on trial for allegedly killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4 outside of a Midtown hotel.
She may be the granddaughter of Audrey Hepburn, but Emma Ferrer is no nepo baby.
There’s nothing fishy about this skin care secret — unless you count the ingredients.
It’s a funky fad coated in 1970s swag — can you dig it?
