New York DA's office eavesdropped on Luigi Mangione's call with defense attorney, prosecutors admit
The U.S. government confirmed a paralegal listened in on UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione's recorded jailhouse calls in a Tuesday court filing.
A paralegal with the New York County Attorney's Office apparently listened to the entirety of a recorded jail call between Mangione and his attorney
Isn’t that grounds for a mistrial?
Plus disbarment.
That was my first thought ya.
New research follows online memes of Luigi Mangione, alleged UHC assassin, in normalizing left-wing violence
Anything to cause hatred for him, no matter how bullshit
Man, is it just me, or does that read like they're upset that the violence is "left wing", not that there was violence?
Don't really see this kind of spin when any of the countless righty incels shoot up a school
To me, it reads more as "seeee?!?! The people we've been training you to hate for the benefit of our rich owners ARE in fact evil demon-crats"
Love Fox News being an outlet of choice for a the mod of a progressive politics sub.
They're pointing to it as a justification for violence
left-wing
Lmfao
Ask a MAGA how they feel about health care CEOs getting shot.
And then brace yourself as they scream “ABOUT FUCKIN TIME”
Feelings aside about what Mangione did, it seems like this shouldn't be that challenging of a case. It's impressive they're managing to fuck it up this badly.
Yeah, it’s not a challenging case, they got the wrong guy. CEO shot himself cause he felt bad about what he did.
I strongly suspect they fuck up every case as badly. It's just that the vast majority of them aren't so high profile, so nobody's looking at them under a microscope and we don't hear about it. Injustice is rampant all throughout the prosecutorial system, the odds are deliberately stacked in the state/government's favor and against the accused, and the notion that anyone gets a fair trial in this day and age is laughably naive.
The prosecution absolutely will cheat in any way they think they can get away with because they are secure in the knowledge that they will always get away with it. Nobody will bring the hammer down on them, and even if so they'll then be forced to do what? Prosecute themselves? No one is watching the watchmen in any functional capacity. The state controls the phone systems, the prisons they're in, the wardens keeping the inmates in, the cops who catch them, all the way down the clerks who write the paperwork. Even if someone somewhere in the chain fucks up, they're all chums who see each other every day and they're all on the same side. Private citizens can exert no meaningful oversight over the system whatsoever. The only thing that matters to the prosecution is that they convict, convict, convict regardless of the guilt or innocence of the accused. Ruining lives strengthening the government's position is the point, always. Everything else is just window dressing and lip service.
allegedly
What was it he did?
They should be disbarred.
Any sources which aren't Fox News? A search just shows headlines from yesterday saying prosecutors deny any eavesdropping.
Thanks! also lol @ that fairness meter
No trial date has been set in either case, but his defense team have said they want the federal case to take precedent because it involves the death penalty.
Precedence. I know I'm kicking a dead horse long past its expiry date, but obviously my efforts here rambling about stupid knives or whatever the hell is wasted. I should be a the copy editor for a major news publication instead. I couldn't possibly do a worse job!
Ah, so that’s why the prosecutors were recused.
Now charge them and disbar them.
God damn, they're so fucking stupid.
They have received their orders from the Sociopathic Oligarchs, one of which is the police commisioner, that he is to be convicted no matter what it takes, so they will cheat in every way possible.
It's an extremely weak case, with the video not proving anything. It doesnt show his face, that could be anyone. Every other piece of evidence could have easily been planted.
Now we know they've been listening in on his calls. This needs to be disclosed to the jury, so they see that they are so desperate to win the case that they will cheat, throwing all the other evidence, and anything they testify to, into doubt.
Luigi's trial is going to be a circus like we haven't seen since the OJ trial.
