Judge allows gun and notebook as evidence in Luigi Mangione trial
A New York judge ruled prosecutors may introduce a handgun and a handwritten notebook seized from Luigi Mangione’s backpack as evidence at his upcoming murder trial. Mangione is charged in the 2024 killing of a healthcare executive, and the judge said the gun and writings could help link him to the crime. The judge excluded other items taken from the backpack during Mangione’s arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, finding that portion of the search was warrantless and the evidence must be suppressed. Allowing the gun and notebook preserves the prosecution’s core physical and documentary evidence while the suppression narrows what jurors will see.
The future of journalism? Credentialed members of the New York City press corps came to Luigi Mangione’s hearing today to support the defendant they’re purportedly reporting on and to promote jury nullification “to the most cucked and submissive population in all of human history”
“I’m saying fuck Brian Thompson. I don’t give a flying fuck he died,” says Ashley Rojas, wearing her press badge provided by @mayor.nyc.gov. Lena Weissbrot adds that Thompson’s teenage sons “are better off without him” and should “enjoy the blood money.”
Well yeah, they're journalists. To pretend that the world isn't better off without Brian Thompson would be journalistic malpractice.
You should see the White House press corps
Brian Thompson was a mass murderer. Both sides.
Who the fucking fuck gave these nitwits press credentials?
Differs from the press’ traditional approach of vilifying people accused of crimes.
What do you think it means to be credentialed?
The future of journalism is looking good then
Wow, I guess we should have figured out a way for journalists to have healthcare before letting them loose reporting on healthcare.
If journalism has any future beyond being a plaything for the ruling classes, yes this is the future of journalism
non-zero chance this is performance art
This all seems like a positive trend. People are more visible in putting in the work to help improve the image of modern US journalists.
what are you, a cop? cry more
This isn’t a very objective reporting on your part
lmao im sorry but this is really funny, you are annoyed about this? you know whose accredited news for this, all the sources that cover for genocide, that push wars to make the rich, richer, and you're made there's someone who is fine with class war? lmaoooo
as an american its nice for somebody to get shot who actually had it coming, instead of schoolkids or a dog that the police think is being rude
This is the past and present of journalism. Roger Ailes made propagandists into credentialed press 40 years ago. I frankly don’t have an issue with this in the slightest
are you going to cry about it
*sees the coolest reporter I've seen in a while* this is terrible I must post about it
The purpose of journalism is to enable the US government to go to war on false premises and to protect rich pedophiles, not to do THIS!
shocking. i would expect anyone with press credentials to be far more deferent toward the ruling class
You're not a journalist, you're a centrist shill. Finding common ground with monsters, pedophiles, rapists and murderers does not, in fact, make you unbiased, @mollycranenewman.bsky.social , it makes you biased towards them. You are a living example of journalistic malpractice. Eat shit.
This post is so cursed Molly
You work for a tabloid rag. Shut the entire hell up about other people’s journalism bonafides
Your implication that the mayor should be shamed because members of the media disagree with your neoliberal point of view is hilarious.
Also giving massive red scare vibes. "Not left or right but up"? MMM OK. So, the right. Got it.
Purportedly? lol You were purportedly reporting on the same thing, huh?
I think journalists should admit they have political opinions rather than dishonestly framing themselves as reasonable, neutral onlookers. and balance is not as important as justice.
Do you have her beehiiv or ghost? This is the type of newsletter I would love to subscribe to.
All red blooded patriotic Americans hate the private health insurance companies who pray on the most vulnerable people on our communities. Just because you’re a traitorous loser doesn’t mean most of us are.
Real journalists recognize the truth and speak that truth to power
These people seem cool af, most people care about Brian Thompson just as much as he cared about the hundreds of thousands he murdered for cash each year 💯
It's okay. You don't have to believe in love or life or humanity. We are all set without your hateful and violent bastardization of journalism, Molly.
@mollycranenewman.bsky.social you are such a fuckin biiiiiiitch lmao youre trying to get their info so you can try to Doxx them??? they made you mad so youre gonna ruin their life??? het a fuckin hobby
Great to hear journalists tell the unvarnished truth
