This is the crux of the issue.
Ever since the start I've been saying he was a suspect and they were tracking him based off of illegally obtained evidence. The whole tip was BS. Some random person (most likely cop or fed) told a fast food worker there was a reward and to call it in, then just left.
They needed an excuse to say they found a suspect, because they found him illegally. It's actually standard procedure called "parallel investigation".
But even if the call holds up, they fucked up all the evidence gathering.
I really think he'll get off on a technicality and trump will try to jail him anyways keep the wealthy happy
The way I see this going is
Mangione wins his initial case on the issues you highlight.
Theres a big legal slapfight.
Ends up in front of the supreme court.
Trump makes a public statement about how dangerous people like Mangione need to be found guilty and executed.
Shortly after the statement, the Supreme Court abruptly declares Mangione guilty.
Trump holds a public execution within a month. Possibly profiting off it by selling tickets to his billionaire backers.
SCOTUS doesn't (normally) rule on guilt, they rule on the legal questions raised in the appeal, and send cases back down to be finished.
Doing a lot of heavy lifting there
cause SCOTUS has been so normal the past 10 months, amirite
also i think he missed the whole "Trump publicly says he needs to be guilty, and SCOTUS immediately declares guilty" aspect
