    Well, which is it? It’s not Schrodinger’s eavesdrop. You either did it, or you didn’t. All this backpeddling just makes it sound like you definitely did but are trying to cover it up.

      Because that’s obviously the case. They not only admitted to doing it, they even sent the defense a recording that PROVES it.

      Rule 1 of getting away with illegal covert surveillance: don’t send the recordings to the victim.

    So, I guess that means the federal prosecutor in charge recused himself for no reason, then?

    To be honest, this sounds like the defense attorneys are setting up anything they can to muddy the procedures and greeting the case thrown out.

    Realistically, it’s probably the only way for this trial to have an outcome other than Luigi getting a death sentence, because that’s surely what the prosecution is going for…

      Except for the prosecutors voluntarily sending the recordings TO the defense.

      Apparently, they thought that breaking the law is allowed as long as you tell your victim afterwards 🤦

        I swear, anything involved with this administration is like watching the Upper Class Twit Of The Year awards. Luigi’s prosecutors systematically fucking up like this is one of the few silver linings in this whole shitshow we find ourselves in; I, for one, will enjoy it, because it’s one of the few things I can genuinely laugh at these days.

      I’m kind of curious what the “if the glove doesn’t fit” moments will be
