“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.

Without the obviously planted evidence, all they have is a video that doesn't show his face. If i was on the jury, that's enough reasonable doubt for me.

And the eyebrows arent even close to similar

If the Brow doesn't fit, we shall acquit.

If the arrest was filthy, he’s not guilty.

Luigi is an innocent patsy. The cops planted the evidence on the first convenient person they found.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

remember that TIP, they baited the people to ID him.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (4 children)

They baited people to find anyone that might look like the shooter.

The cops planted the evidence on the first convenient person they found.

Hardly call his arrest a convenience. They had to chase him halfway across Pennsylvania.

I'm open to the possibility he was set up. But only in the Lee Harvey Oswald sense (someone mired in radicalism who was tangentially involved). You're going to have to produce a "second gunman" before I toss the abundance of evidence against him as a fabrication.

Reddit tries to suppress all discussions related to Luigi, but remember, we have a dedicated community for him: !luigimangione@lemmy.world

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Luigi was a wakeup call as to just how heavily information can be censored when it affects the powers at be. I really don't know what to believe anymore. It feels like there's no objective reality.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Guy is going to jail, the grave, or both. Guilty or not the state is not letting a little thing like police evidence tampering or innocence get in the way of him paying for the consequences being brought home to that CEO. Truth was publicly spoken to power, and someone has to pay for that in the states eyes.

Wow, that sketch makes the youthful and confident looking Luigi look more like a mob underling from a GTA game. Yikes

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Courtroom sketches always butcher people's appearances.

This could go in the cat meme or the throw chair meme

“ _Brazen killing” I sure do love to see mainstream news articles.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

It was carried out without shame so brazen is sn appropriate adjective.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 17 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Is there any other kind of killing? I mean murders are all described as cowardly and brutal. But is there such a thing as a gentle or brave murder?
