Luigi Mangione wants his trial televised and open access to as much media and public as possible. Prosecution does not.

i have never bought into the story that he did it.
50/50 in my mind.
Like yes police incompetence should be expected, but they broke every rule arresting him, searching his bag, etc etc. Evidence being inadmissible aside, the police did a great job of substantiating our suspicions that Luigi was framed.
On the other hand, this doesn't sound like someone who didn't do it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R7R6dmYOVfc
Like maybe he's alluding to the framing being an insult to the american people. But me personally if I was being framed by the government and desperately trying to get help, I would say it more plainly.
Doesn’t take too much incorrect procedure for a case like this to fall apart
Regardless of guilt
As it should.
The police cornering someone in a McDonalds and "finding" evidence behind a wall of officers with zero transparency is exactly why courts dont' admit such evidence.
Maybe if police didn't have a documented history and widely known legacy of false imprisonment, planting evidence, and down right corruption...
If he did, literally all the evidence was faked in a parallel construction so obvious it makes me doubt these people could have managed any other in history. It makes me question whether drug dogs might even be a real thing
drug dogs are not actually accurate at finding drugs, they sound off when their handler indicates. do with that what you will.
Fun fact, if you're white, you can easily smuggle things by just not watching the search.
The cop is watching you to know when to signal the dog to alert.
They either watch you to know when to signal, in the cases where it actually "works" (which, as fucked up as it is, reading your body language is "working" for some definition of working), or they're just using it as an excuse to search/harass you, in which case they just signal when they want to.
Can you back this up or is it just a trust me bro?

This doesn't prove dogs can't detect odors. At best it implies bias in officers which is not really what you suggested. It's also a lone study.
I work adjacent to this field so these kinds of claims coming from someone who clearly doesn't makes it sound like you don't really know what you are talking about.
Look man, I was just linking you to a study when you asked for sources. There’s no need for hostility here. Also, there are more studies discussed in the article if you actually click on the link.
And this frame up/parallel construction was so inept it makes me believe for a split second they are not adequately competenr manage to send those signals.
same here. I still believe that the real guy got the fuck out so fast they has to find the closest look alike to use as a scapegoat in order to prove the cops aren't incompetent
that is exactly what i believe.
The Adjuster is still out there, folks!!
