      yeah the officer that transported the backpack actually turned off her camera for 15 minutes, against regulations.

          It’s possible that she was so excited that she forgot that this is not a normal case, and would have additional scrutiny.

          It makes me wonder how many innocent people are framed and convicted.

            There is plenty of docos around how the US police seem to be so keen to close cases they just pin it on disabled people.

            It’s pathetic and shameful…

    This was peak performative policing and probably illegal behind the scenes tactics. And it’s going to cost them their case I hope.

    Luigi Mangione? You mean the guy that was sleeping on my couch in December of 2023? Why are they picking on this guy? He wasn’t even there.

        I’m gonna get downvoted to the other side of the planet for this… but I think that Leavitt, in stills, not spewing vile shit from her scroteholster, and completely disassociated from reality… is quite attractive. That said, she goes up against the wall with the rest of them when the time comes. Don’t let a pretty face skew your judgement.

        Or give cops the benefit of the doubt. Luigi didn’t do shit, the evidence was planted and it’s plainly obvious.

      Unless there’s a complete abandonment of our laws (unfortunately possible) no court can do anything if a jury finds him not guilty

    There are so many problems with this case that it seems impossible to win, especially since it seems like an excellent candidate for jury nullification.
