“It appears … that multiple employees at the Department of Justice may have violated Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and this Court’s order of April 25, 2025 specifically identifying the strictures of this rule,” U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett wrote in her order on September 24 in response to the letter.

The rule stipulates that “non-lawyer personnel employed by a lawyer’s office or subject to a lawyer’s supervision” in a criminal case have a duty not to release an “opinion that a reasonable person would expect to be disseminated by means of public communication” if there is a chance that the opinion will “interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice.”

It'd be real funny if Mangione walked free because the Trump admin fucked up his case.

There's an incredibly strong chance, even without the stuff they've been saying.

They panicked and used every illegal means to identify and apprehend, because of who was killed.

He's from a decently wealthy family, and has a shit ton in legal funds donated. And the government is full of people who don't know what they're doing. The prosecution will have bad strategies and implement them terribly.

If trump tries to influence to hard, it's liable to cause riots and damn near every American supports Luigi.

Riots? I highly doubt that. Most people are in the "I ain't saying I agree with it, but I get it" camp.

And the reason you believe this is because there is no online platform where you can say "I support this" without getting permabanned.

I'm not saying you aren't coming across this a lot, but stop and consider the fact that it's the most extreme opinion Americans are allowed to have online.

I talk to people in real life too.

Correct. I got banned from Reddit for saying it was technically self defense and that he was also defending the populace from a mass murderer.

Well, I did post stuff like that and "eat the rich" a lot. Regardless ... the powers that be are scared that this happened. If this gets nullified it could mean an open hunting season on unethical CEOs.
