UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione suggests evidence ‘planted’ after arrest
UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione suggests evidence ‘planted’ after arrest
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Luigi needs to shut the everloving fark up and let his lawyer do the talking for him. The cops are trolling him with fake evidence and he's falling for it.
"The gun WASN'T a 32 caliber, it was a 22 rimfire!" etc, etc.
This is the correct answer. If you are arrested by police for ANY REASON, the only word in your vocabulary is now "lawyer". Remember kids, anything you say or do will be used against you.
"I invoke my right to remain silent and have a lawyer."
It sucks, but sometimes you have to explicitly state you are exercising your rights. Just staying silent doesn't mean they won't stop pestering you with questions. Make it clear and concise that that you are demanding your lawyer be present and any further questioning done should be in violation of that right. But you have to make it clear you are invoking it.
Glad to see this here. In many jurisdictions, if the law doesn't say it previous rulings do: you must invoke the rights to silence and to counsel.
It sucks but plenty of judges want to give the police every chance they can get, like those dickheads who OK'd forcing people to unlock their phones because "you already gave police your fingerprint".
Not sometimes, but ALWAYS state that you are invoking your right to remain silent.
Doesn't matter if it's one of the states that presumes you are invoking your right, because you might be the court case that decides otherwise this time.
I think he wants to go to prison, why else be so sloppy in the final stretch?
Unless the gun was in the backpack Muad'dib ditched, and the cops just chose a random guy to scapegoat with the evidence they hid.
I guess we'll find out more in the next few weeks
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
While this is generally good advice, it doesn't apply to public spectacle.
There's countless cases in the US where public pressure forced the government to drop charges or at least reduce sentences.
This guy has support from 99% of the people. Keeping that support is important to his defense.
