Multiple Department of Justice employees "may have violated" Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial through public comments and social media posts, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday -- and it could end up swaying the judge to grant a defense motion to take the death penalty off the table.
Well hold on. Being convinced of one’s innocence isn’t how that works. You have to be convinced that the evidence brought forward is sufficient to support the accusations. I have yet to see anything sufficiently convincing.
Taking it from the top, the only legitimate evidence you have to go on must be gathered from the scene of the crime. DNA, gunpowder, fingerprints. That sort of thing. But the only evidence is that they found an Italian in New York? Be so fucking for real. Remember, the backpack was reported to be discarded several times. Law enforcement couldn’t even agree on WHERE the final backpack was sourced. And even IF the backpack did belong to Luigi, none of what was inside is proof that he stood where the shooter stood. There is no proof physically connecting him to the point in space where the shooting occurred. That’s the only evidence I care about. You need to rationalize the lack of evidence connecting luigi to that physical spot in New York.
The CCTV footage is spotty and inconsistent. That’s like LAPD losing a car in a high speed chase, not being able to see the license plate and catching some random guy who drives the same model car several days later.
They found an Italian in New York. That’s the only thing I’ve been convinced of.
