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.

I don't believe this guy is guilty. He doesn't even look like the guy in the photo, whose jacket isn't even the same color as the shooter, not that it even means anything. That shit's mass produced just like almost everything else.

Execution suspect. This was an execution done with popular support.

Maybe call it an assassination if uoj want to get political, but its widely recognized to being done in defense of the people. That's not murder.

How does "I'm not sure if it was planted" equate with suggesting evidence was planted? It feels like a linguistic stretch.

If he outright said it was planted, and then they could "prove" it wasn't, that would reduce his plea options, I think
