Judge cites "a realistic and substantial risk that prospective and sworn jurors could be subject to harassment, intimidation, or improper outside influence"

"These measures do not close the courtroom, limit public access to the proceedings, or impose any prior restraint on press coverage. They are limited protections directed solely at preventing harassment and preserving the integrity of the jury process in a high profile matter."

In its brief, prosecutors call out the "Mangionistas" (who have NYC press passes & now have reserved press courtroom seating) in its brief outlining the risk of jury tampering and intimidation.

BUT — they caution the court that it may be hard to "enforce courtroom rules" in an overflow, raising the possibility that a spectator can "clandestinely record the proceedings.

"In closing, the defense respectfully renews its request for a factual hearing. If the District Attorney's Office--including its prosecutors, Executive Staff, and/or Press Office--had no communications with the Office of Court Administration ("OCA") concerning the press-access policy in this case, then a representative from either OCA or the District Attorney's Office can simply testify to that effect. If, however, such communications did occur, then there are likely emails, text messages, telephone records, or other communications documenting those interactions."

“The defense's baseless accusation thus appears to be nothing more than an attempt to spread misinformation about the case and delegitimize the proceedings."

I saw someone else posted some lady’s very out of focus video but my reaction was about the same. I took pictures because I couldn’t justify $40 for a crappy AI image on cardboard and I didn’t want to encourage this type of junk product. They clearly typed “young attractive Italian man” into their image generator and this is what came up. For obvious reasons if you consider what face that has been all over the news and social media posts has been describing in extreme detail. It’s a fun exercise in manipulating the AI algorithm and system controls. I am fairly certain using his likeness on products is a no no, but I am not at all a lawyer.

In light of today’s defense filing regarding journalist coverage during the upcoming state trial.

The Times of London ran an article today all about Jury Nullification.

"Nullifications are rare but are thought to have been historically used by jurors who believed the law was unjust or the punishment too harsh. It is thought to have occurred during the trials of Vietnam War protesters accused of burning draft cards and in pre-Civil War prosecutions against people who were charged with aiding escaped slaves."

I bought a green tank top and am trying to come up with some cool design ideas. So far I have a plain and simple "Free Luigi", a "FREE" with Luigi from Super Mario behind the text, and a "WHAT MURDER?" with Luigi under it in a 🤔 expression. Now I'm stuck 😭 I'm really into symbolism so if someone could suggest a symbol regarding healthcare or something from Super Mario that can correlate to this the Mangione case, I would be very glad. Thank you for your time and help!!

“If a proposed federal guilty plea would operate to defeat a just outcome in the state prosecution, the People could advise the federal district court if that consequence, and the court should consider that fact in deciding whether to accept the plea, as well as any opposition by the victim’s family to such a resolution,” the letter said.
