Excerpt:

Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.

“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.

After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”

“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.

Our incoming president is a convicted felon and RAPIST who incited an insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election.

The rule of law doesn't mean shit anymore.

I could give 2 fucks if this guy lies through his teeth to get off the hook. Go for it bro.

I mean. They probably really did plant the money to try and paint it like it was a hired hit or something like that.

He didn't say the gun and ID was planted, which were also found on him. I don't see why he'd be like "yupp that murder weapon and manifesto is mine but that money sure isnt" if it wasn't true. I mean, what does he have to lose (or gain) by lying about that?

All it takes is 1 jury member.

Jury selection is going to a bitch for the prosecution.

Well I'm certainly disappointed in his "criminal sophistication".

I'm disappointed that he looks nothing like the guy in the hotel and it seems to be only the right that is catching on, even though the left has every reason to. Look, we have images of him both before and after his arrest. In both cases he has massive eyebrows, a highly structured face, a broad nose, and a face with a 50:50 aspect ratio.

In the hotel, no bushy eyebrows, that's the most clear thing to spot. But everything else is wrong too. These two guys look nothing alike, at all. How are people not seeing this? Both could be described as "hot." People are making a point of mentioning that. To the internet do all hot guys look identical?

Look at the guy in the hotel. Tell me he doesn't have a narrow nose. Because he does.

"sophistication"

A Faraday cage (bag) is not sophisticated. WTF, one can build one from chicken wire.
