Mangione Wins Big in Court - Again
The Left has created a two tiered justice system and this article proves it. Luigi Mangione (no, he's not an Italian plumber but rather the guy who shot United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson) is going to walk thanks to a liberal judge who just dismissed the evidence against him.
From the article:
Altoona, Pennsylvania, police unlawfully searched Mangione’s backpack without a warrant while questioning him at a McDonald’s in December 2024 over UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder that month in New York City, New York Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro said in a Monday ruling. The prohibited evidence includes a gun magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip.
How, pray tell, could police expect to find ANYONE if they couldn't search their personal effects? The fact is when you are in a public place you never do have Fourth Amendment protections, haven't had them for decades thanks to a series of Supreme Court rulings over the years. It's why cops just search your car if you get pulled over, no warrant, no problem.
The dopey judge did allow the admission of a journal found in the backpack after Mangione was brought into the station. (What makes that different than the stuff found on the scene?) I would point out there was probable cause; a crew member at the McDonalds recognized him and called the cops.
The article continues:
"As [an officer] approached the table where the backpack was, he asked [Mangione] if there was anything in the bag they needed to know about,” Carro said, summarizing the police encounter. "Defendant responded that he was ‘just going to remain silent.’ [Officers] then proceeded to search the defendant’s backpack.”
The details of the search do not fit any "exigent circumstances” that would legally allow a warrantless search under the Fourteenth Amendment, Carro ruled.
I don't know about the laws of New York but here in Missouri if you are in a public place and cops ask to look in your bag you don't have a choice - and you aren't getting off on that technicality.
I suspect this next part is a flub by the writer, but this sounds like some of the judges they are appointing these days. Katanja Brown Jackson anyone?
The details of the search do not fit any "exigent circumstances” that would legally allow a warrantless search under the Fourteenth Amendment, Carro ruled.
I believe judge Carro means the FOURTH. As far as I know Luigi Mangione was never a slave.
At any rate a Biden judge has already taken the death penalty off the table for no good reason except this guy killed a capitalist, and we all know they have it coming, right? I fear justice is not going to be served here. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mangione get off with ten years, out in seven.
