How do they get 15,000 pages of evidence out of a couple of bullet casings, a gun, and a manifesto?

“thousands of hours of video.”
more than 15,000 pages of information and 800 GB of data
What the heck, did they just submit every piece of surveillance footage, every news article, every Reddit post talking about it, just every piece of media in the world that had the words 'Luigi Mangione' in it anywhere?
It's generally known as a document dump that prosecutors use to overwhelm the defense, in the hope that they won't find the important bits that may lead to an exoneration.
kinda like trump is doing in the media and his courts cases too.
Somewhat off topic, but once upon a time I worked as an insurance adjuster for litigated liability claims. A commercial customer of mine tendered about 12k lawsuits in which they were named as a defendant (it was a novel type of lawsuit and they were a big player, imagine what the roundup lawsuits are like for Monsanto) all at once.
For background, insurance companies are required to make a reasoned determination of coverage within 30 days of receiving notice of a claim. If that’s impossible, they can file an extension within 7 days of receipt, but there would have to be one extension tailored to each claim. Additionally, once coverage has been established, it’s more difficult for an insurance company to change their mind and rescind it (insurance companies make the contracts, meaning they make the rules, so courts are not especially forgiving when they get confused about how the rules they made apply).
Basically, by sending us over 10k new kinds of lawsuits all at once, they were trying to force us to extend coverage for as long as it took for us to find very good reasons to deny each individual claim. Unluckily for them, basically everyone except about four of us with poorly managed ADHD was remote. We all transferred everything to the remote people and we spent about three weeks just hyperfocusing and reading through the lawsuits. In the end, we were able to respond in time to about 80% of the lawsuits and we filed extensions on the rest in time (though tbh, their insurance department probably felt similarly overwhelmed by ~2.5k extensions).
I don’t have much pride about my work there, but that felt very good. Especially because I honestly have less sympathy for this company than Monsanto
One of the rare good application of AI.
Only if it can give a believable reliability score for each item.
It's likely they've done something like enter every email he ever received into evidence just to fuck with the defense.
No; they had generative AI wax poetic on the evidence, describing every frame of every photo and security camera footage, obviously.
Is it really a manifesto if police made it public, not him?
I mean, a manifesto is a statement of intent. Is a suicide note not a suicide note if it's not public?
I see zero reason he should not have this if Sean Combs is allowed for the same reasons. Unless Mangione went after one wealthy, powerful person who murdered millions for money and Combs went after several unmonied powerless would be motivation for preventing it.
And goon.
God bless him.
15000 pages of evidence and goon is the new netflix and chill.
