Luigi Mangione’s Attorney is not messing around calls out NYC Mayor Eric Adams for trying to influence the jury pool with prejudiced statements and says his client is being treated like a spectacle whose right to a fair trial is being violated.
Eric Adams may cause a mistrial by cloud chasing
“The mayor should know more than anyone about the presumption of innocence,” she said of Adams, a former NYPD captain who is now accused of federal corruption charges.
Throw that shade, sis!And the double entendre that he was a cop makes it even better. If she's called on it, she just meant that as law enforcement, he knows that people he arrests get a trial (if they don't confess, that is).
lmao those cops lurking behind him like he's gonna tear off his cuffs and hulk out or some shit
You know I just keep comparing all this to the experience I recently went through, with a close one dying while being denied coverage by UnitedHealthcare at practically every turn. This woman spent her whole life as a nurse taking care of elderly and sick folks, but when it was her turn... where the fuck were her armed thugs making sure she got the help she needed? Oh, right, this shit-ass world doesn't work that way. The armed thugs only show up when some cash-bloated dickweeds need them to keep things shitty for the rest of us. Even when the primary cash-bloated dickweed in question is already dead.
what a fuckin joke

Unlikely with how invested in the healthcare industry the judge is
I cannot imagine a world in which this ends in anything other than a mistrial. The state has an open and shut 2nd-degree murder case and decides to upgrade it to a 1st-degree charge, which is both much harder to pin on him and gives him a soapbox in front of the jury to explain why he did it.
There is no jury alive that would condemn him that doesn't comprise of 12 insurance executives.
They also charged 2nd degree, so even if the 1st fails he still might get convicted. Although maybe just the fact that they tried 1st could influence the jury into acquitting for 2nd as well for some reason? Who knows.
and gives him a soapbox in front of the jury to explain why he did it
Why wouldn't he have that with just a 2nd degree charge?
Today I'll show NYC who's boss by being a boss and personally perp walking this TERRORIST. Justice will be served.
She was asked and laughed, apparently it's just sheer coincidence and it's holidays
I dont remember the rules about which court stuff goes on TV. I wouldn't have expected that video to be available. Is the whole thing online somewhere?
it seems like it varies drastically by what court it's in. Federal courts I think is a blanket no, state courts are more mixed, and even at the state level I've seen exceptions be made (I think derek chauvin was like this)
Fuckin roasted him, good on her. Love how her only demand right now is that Adams stfu, but she in no way implied that'd be the end of it.
