"Good, because I approve."

I'm sure they'll be very cooperative and fair with their approach to the case, especially while Luigi's lawyer is constantly mentioning how the prosecution is obstructing their work in every way they can.

Some jails offer tablets to every inmate, so this isn't an unreasonable request to make at all. Locked down tablets with walled garden internet access, of course, but still better than nothing.

A laptop at the facility is not entirely uncommon, according to Sam Mangel, prison consultant currently working with other inmates at the same facility hosting Mangione.

Mangel echoed the defense's note in the filing that other prisoners have access to laptops, which are disconnected from the internet to comply with federal prison regulations.

"There's a procedure for doing this, but it is not difficult," Mangel tells PEOPLE.

The discovery information includes more than 15,000 pages of information and 800 GB of data, per the filing.

Meanwhile they're letting rape kits rot in some locker in some room that hasn't had a light turned on ever since the only employee that has a key retired 3 years ago

No number of gigabytes can make up for the fact that Luigi isn't the guy who shot the guy

I want a laptop at Starbucks so I can review the two DMs from the girl who blocked me on OnlyFans.

The thing is, he has a right to review evidence that's going to be used against him. If that cannot feasibly be done with boxes of paper, because of jail policies, then a laptop may be necessary.

Either that or the prosecution needs to clarify that some of the papers they provided as a Brady requirement are not going to be used in court. Because that's what this really is. The prosecution wants to spam the defense with a ton of documents to keep secret which ones they actually plan on using, which ones they actually think might be exculpatory. And in general judges give prosecutors a lot of latitude to do this because you can't be sure what you're going to use until the case actually gets to trial. But there does become a point when it's absurd and I think 15,000 pages is around that point.

It would be really funny if they say no, but allow it in paper.

It's 15000 pages of evidence for his alibi

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

How can there be 15,000 pages of evidence?

Even massive engineering projects have fewer pages of total documentation than that.

What could they possibly have that's 15,000 of actual information and not just superfluous attachments?

Even he just wanted it for porn, I say let him jork it.
