A judge has dismissed terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione in New York state’s case over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but he kept the state’s second-degree murder charges against him.
I don’t doubt they have evidence that irrefutably proves he’s the shooter…
The issue has always been legally admissible evidence.
I think they broke a shit ton of laws to find out who did it, then failed to retroactively create a “partel investigation” that would have legally uncovered the evidence so it could be used anyway.
Like, that’s pretty normal for cops. They break laws to solve a crime, make up some bullshit about how they’d have found it anyways, then overcharge to get a plea deal and avoid trial.
Luigi ain’t taking a plea deal, and while they may very well know it’s him, they can’t prove it in court
The whole thing is bullshit tho. When you already know where you’ll find evidence, it’s easy to justify after the fact how you could have legally been able to search that one place.
But they can’t narrow it down to that spot except by violating civil rights.
I do doubt they have evidence he is the shooter. Just the footage taken at the scene has details that don’t match with Luigi at all. He was in the area since the image from the hostel is very likely him, but just being in the general vicinity isn’t enough to convict.
If you think the US government can’t tell who was on a street at a certain time and then search everyone’s cell phones and track where they’ve been to narrow it down to a very small number of people…

I dunno what to tell you.
The sun also rises each morning and sets at night. And Tuesdays usually follow Mondays.

I think the term is “parallel investigation” or parallel construction investigation." I don’t doubt that you are correct though.
Yeah, that’s just a typo.
