Ok let’s just make believe for a moment and pretend the justice system is, well, just and fair, and not stacked against you and such.
How the fuck do you, the prosecutor reading this, come back from such a historic fumble. There’s no way this shit flies and the judge doesn’t just tell them to fuck off.
“Even though the chain of custody for this evidence has some … gaps in it, we are profressionals so you trust it overall”
There’s no way this shit flies and the judge doesn’t just tell them to fuck off.
Often it’s the court’s responsibility to prepare paperwork like this, not the prosecutor’s. I’m not sure we should even take this report at face value as it’s from an account that seems set on clowning on the whole case.
Assuming it is a misstep by the prosecutor, it’s almost certainly not anything that would derail the case. At best it could contribute to a speedy trial motion.
A hearing in Luigi Mangione ’s state murder case in the killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was postponed until Wednesday after prosecutors failed to inform his jailors that he was needed in court.
Judge Gregory Carro had scheduled the hearing for Tuesday but adjourned it about a half-hour after it was supposed to start when Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann told him that prosecutors had failed to send required paperwork to the jail.
“It’s on us,” Seidemann said. “We got the writ signed but we failed to serve it.”
“That’s unfortunate,” Carro replied.
Seidemann noted that the judge in Mangione’s federal case, Margaret Garnett, had sent an order to the jail authorizing him to wear a suit to court, but the prosecutor acknowledged that alone wasn’t enough to get him brought to court
I’m American but courtroom sketches are so goofy and odd to me. Just allow video or at least cameras. If they don’t - eventually AI will fill the void and create garbage that people will consume just so they can pretend to see what happened.
If you bring a camera in the lenses can act as a gateway to the spirit world so court artists are there to prevent another Ghostbusters 2 courtroom exorcism
Great sign of a prosecution that’s totally got it together and not at all too occupied handling a complete disaster of a case.
ive been paying more attention to court cases lately. just a few that im following, and the ones popping up in the media about DoJ trying to paper over and legitimize all the ICE kidnappings, in-custody deaths etc.
the pattern i am seeing is that the state tends to have shitty representation. prosecutors/attorneys general are frequently outclassed by the opposing counsel in terms of talent/knowledge of the law, and make many procedural blunders. the political context of the case allows or forbids the court from doing more than scolding/professionally embarrassing them on the record.
for a case like luigis or the ICE detentions, they are going to get all the slack in the world to get the outcome the state needs to defend state power.
the impact of instances like this shows how the courts role is to adjudicate lower stakes cases, promote the idea that there are functional constraints on executive overreach, but always to preserve state power in general.
the trump admin, if nothing else, is making this more obvious than it has been in my lifetime, by cultivating a shallow bench of no talent losers making constant unforced errors.
Federally, they’ve purged all non-nincompoops so running on hot air. State level can be more competent but in some states there have been scandals where a lot of people resigned, so that stresses all who remain.
Damn. Big america delenda et moment but also
Luigi shouldn’t be there in the first place and the guy who actually did it shouldn’t either.
Oh wtf?
