    It might be in there somewhere but I could not find it. I don’t necessarily doubt it, but would be nice with a less biased source than the lawyer of Luigi. Any news article that can sum up the legal problem of the evidence.

      If an attorney lies about that, they can be disbarred. It’s not something that they’re likely to lie about in their position, and news articles reporting on it would probably cite them as a source.

        I didn’t find the information on the linked website though. I’m sure it’s there, and I want to read about it. Can someone direct me to the specific page or some other source?

          Yeah, I don’t know what the problem is, but attorneys in general make terrible fucking websites. Under the statements section, this is a quote from the (current) third post down, a court transcript:

          And I want to just bring to your Honor’s attention my shock, frankly, that the chief of detectives of the NYPD along with the New York City mayor had time to sit down with HBO and put hair and makeup on and provide information about the arrest, the prosecution, their theory about the case, and evidence about Mr. Mangione that we have not even received.

          This journal that they’re calling his manifesto, we have never have been provided copies.

          There are other mentions here and there, but this is at least a clear and specific accusation: the NYPD was talking about evidence in a press conference which had not yet been provided to the defense.

          In terms of believability, statements given before the court like this one are pretty high for me, as long as the judge is not biased towards the attorneys (not in this case), because lying to a court can be career ending.
