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.

Well I'm certainly disappointed in his "criminal sophistication".

How does "I'm not sure if it was planted" equate with suggesting evidence was planted? It feels like a linguistic stretch.

It's his bag. If he put it in there, he'd know. If he doesn't know where it came from, it was probably planted.

I am ripe for a headline like this, but the Examiner?

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I am not sure prosecution can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he’s the guy. Some of this evidence seems flimsy or circumstantial, but I don’t know the whole picture.

They want to upgrade his charge from second-degree murder to first-degree murder, changing it to a murder-for-hire case.

About 10,000 -8,000 dollars??? If only that was something that could easily be counted. Why do we need to speculate everything. Ffs
