00:00Luigi Mangione in court in New York City this morning for his first hearing. This is not the federal case
00:06this is New York State against Luigi Mangione for the
00:11murder of go back to let's see that video but this walk in there was
00:17Something that was wearing a bulletproof. He is had a bulletproof vest a total of six guards around him
00:25Shackled as he came into court, but there were
00:28This was the view that people wanted to see and they wanted to see it so badly. They waited overnight
00:35hundreds of people waiting to get into the court hoping to get a seat there but
00:40there were people in the courtroom during the hearing which lasted about 30 minutes 30 minutes and
00:45some of those people were shouting support for him, which obviously the judge did not take kindly to but
00:52That was the scene inside the court and this was really about a battle between his
00:59attorney Luigi's attorney and the DA as far as
01:03documentation being turned over
01:05in fact
01:06Karen Friedman Agnifilo said that the DA's office has been dragging its feet on getting documents to them
01:12she called out not only the DA but
01:15Mayor Adams and called him out because he was on an HBO documentary
01:21on
01:22Luigi's case and
01:24Apparently was sitting in the makeup chair
01:26He found time to be in hair and makeup and do this documentary
01:30He's been after Adams since this is her block. Yeah where Adams was following unclear why Adams would show up for a perp walk
01:37Along with a hundred other people, right, but it's pretty clear actually
01:41Yeah, I mean we know what he was doing and that's exactly what she's been called. I said there were there were optics issues
01:48That when she visits him and talks to him in prison or in jail
01:55He is not shackled
01:56But when he's in court, they shackle they do this and she actually asked the judge while in court
02:03He said there's no reason for him to be in shackles
02:06Can we not remove them the judge refused and she made the point she feels like he's being treated differently that this is to make
02:13Him look more dangerous
02:15While he's during his trial
02:17Which is usually a concern you want to make sure the defendant gets a fair trial
02:21but I actually think it's gonna be hard to impanel a jury that will not be overly supportive of someone like Luigi when you see
02:27the outpouring of
02:29Support when you look outside and there's these Renaissance posters of him with a halo over his head as a martyr
02:34I'm wondering whether the prosecution thinks they can get a fair shake at actually convicting him
02:38Yeah, it is interesting though as this was going on. You have all these billboards
02:42You saw that one we showed you that was on the side of a truck driving by the courthouse
02:46But someone actually spent the money for a much larger billboard that went up on the side of a building
02:53All of this playing out around the city
02:56You don't really strike me about this
02:59When this happened, this is all people talked about and it just feels like since the first of the year
03:05there is so much else has happened a
03:08flurry of
03:09News and craziness and violence. Yep that it's like, oh, yeah, Luigi Mangione. Yeah. Oh, remember that guy?
03:16Yeah, it does seem like a long long time ago. It really wasn't. Yeah
03:21From Fort Smith, Arkansas
03:22I get the health care system is broken and some people think Luigi's a savior who should be set free
03:27They showed up at his court case today
03:29They also put up that billboard
03:31But at the end of the day America is a nation of laws and not of men if you support unlawful
03:36Executions of corporate executives, you should consider a check on your own humanity
03:41Yeah, I mean, um, that's that's gonna wait a system supposedly works
03:45Yeah, it's not necessarily the way a lot of people feel it should work, which is interesting
