“Even if this motion is successful, it doesn’t mean that Luigi Mangione walks out of prison,” said Ron Kuby, a criminal defense attorney whose practice focuses on civil rights. “All it means is that the items that were seized from him, or seized that belong to him, can’t be used as evidence against him.”

Kuby thinks that Mangione’s team has made enough claims in their papers to merit a hearing on the issues, in which the police officer involved would have to testify, confirming or denying the facts. “It does appear that they stopped and frisked Mangione without a legal basis to do it. If that’s true, everything that follows from there is likely to be found to be unconstitutional,” he said.

I worked in courts and the sketch artists are something else. One time, one of them sketched me in 5min. I looked so bummed and guilty that I felt like I was staring down a 25 year sentence. To this day I still keep the drawing on my wall ( ˘ ³˘)

That’s pretty cool that you can have something like that at home. Must make for some cool conversations.

Between the two of us, how guilty were you? For real though.

Ahah it truly does! Especially when I invite partners, some get uneasy, thinking it’s some kind of trophy of some kind. Can get awkward but it’s a pretty effective glass breaker.

On the advice of my highly paid counsel, I respectfully decline to answer that question and invoke the fifth, trump style.
