“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.

Reddit tries to suppress all discussions related to Luigi, but remember, we have a dedicated community for him: [email protected]

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.

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.

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

That's kind of how locating a suspect works... How else do you locate someone from a description when they have fled and are hiding in the general population?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Don't rush. Don't plaster the news with him after 72 hours. Let him think he got away and allow him to make another mistake.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

So "don't look for the suspect"? That seems like, super effective.

[–] [email protected] 153 points 1 day ago (17 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (4 children)

I mean, he'd need a functional alibi. So far, nobody seems to want to explain where he was when Thompson got got.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 27 minutes ago

Not really; without the items that were seized, they don't really have much of anything that would link him to the location, aside from some bad security camera footage that, IMO, doesn't really look like him. Insisting that he needs an alibi is reversing the burden of proof; it's saying that, unless he can prove he was elsewhere, then their claim must be correct. But they have so little without the evidence seized at the arrest that the case would be very thin.

Look, if you asked me where I was when The Asshole Brian Thompson was shot, I'd have no fucking idea unless it was something that was a big enough deal that I noted it in my calendar. I don't even remember where I was when 11 Sept. happened.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

No he doesn't, that burden is on the state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Literally was with me that night. I can describe his very private birthmark if needed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

He was vacationing alone in NYC, so nobody knew or noticed him. No different than being home asleep.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the eyebrows arent even close to similar

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago

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

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