Excerpt:

Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.

“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.

After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”

“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.

The more they keep fuxking with the facts, the more this makes sense.

I just hope tomorrow a video alibi comes out of him jerking off on camera in Philly at 7am that Wednesday

The whole narrative will crumble and the working class will see what they really do to us.

What? People being charged with murder get bail all the time.

Here’s two examples, because I was searching for the second and misremembered his last name as “Perry” instead of “Penny”, but conveniently there was another person subjected to a murder charge who also had a bail set.

That’s all circumstantial evidence.

But then again, circumstantial evidence simply means “not eyewitness evidence”. It does not mean “unreliable evidence”, and people are convicted all the time based on circumstantial evidence.

He hasn’t said he didn’t do it, at least that we have heard. He’s just saying that a lot of the evidence is incorrect. The money is a flight risk, so they can argue to hold without bail. The manifesto, if it’s a plant, is to make him look “crazy,” so people distance (haha, backfire). And the faraday nonsense is to suggest that an ankle monitor would be of no use, so also no bail.

It’s all about holding him at this point.

This could be a scapegoat

But this could also be the perpetrator claiming he’s a scapegoat, which is probably the best way to get a Jury to acquit, just plant doubts.

I’m gonna say that this is probably the actual perpetrator and I guess he was planning on more targets, but got caught before he could do more “deposing”.

Yeah. If they were looking for someone to frame, NYPD could have just grabbed someone in NY. I don’t see how it makes sense for them to coordinate with PA police to frame a random guy out of state, especially that quickly. I doubt they’d have been able to fabricate the evidence that quickly, too.

If this is actually the perpetrator, it’s possible he intended to get caught so that they dont find a scapegoat to accuse, but he merely wanted to delay his arrest in order to see the social media reactions before potentially going to prison.
