Thank you for sharing these information. Very insightful.These admissibility decisions might encourage lawyers (and the public at large) to also question the validity of the “match” opinions being reported in Luigi Mangione’s case and to not immediately accept the NYPD’s forensic opinions. An additional reason to take pause about the reliability of the examination and opinions formed in Mangione’s case is that the gun in question is a ghost gun.37
The basic premise of firearm and tool mark identification is rooted in the manufacturing process. Ghost guns are assembled from parts printed using a 3D printer.38 These guns do not go through the normal manufacturing process.
It stands to reason that the existing research is not applicable for this kind of firearm, and the examiners’ training and experience might not be either. Recent research has suggested that existing validation studies do not have sufficiently difficult test samples for the error rates, notwithstanding other study design flaws and statistical errors, to be generalizable for the field using traditionally manufactured guns, and that existing research does not adequately test performance on close nonmatches.39
These factors make the applicability of existing research even more tenuous for ghost guns. Regardless of an individual’s existing beliefs regarding the validity of firearms examination, there is reason to question its use in the case against Mangione.
Conclusion
The prosecution of Luigi Mangione for the murder of Brian Thompson offers an opportunity to examine the role of forensic evidence in criminal cases and its portrayal in the public imagination. The challenges surrounding pattern-matching methods, compounded by cognitive biases and the lack of empirical validation, underscore the need for a paradigm shift in how such evidence is understood and used.
Forensic evidence should be held to the same rigorous scientific standards as other disciplines, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and transparency. Because of the significance of firearms evidence in the murder of Thompson, the prosecution of Mangione has the potential to reshape public perceptions and promote the development of scientifically grounded practices. It is imperative to challenge entrenched myths and advocate for reforms that safeguard the integrity of justice. There are many reasons to challenge the reliability and thus admissibility of the pattern-matching “match” opinions in the case, which is a fight backed by science.
Prison also isn't like the movies or TV shows where gangs of hetero men go around forcing themselves on everyone to show their dominance. Although assault happens in prison, it is not as common as depicted. The dangers usually come from the guards more than the other prisoners as - again, unlike movies and TV - it is rare for a guard to view a prisoner as fully human. US prisoners tend to be treated as subhuman or second (or third) class, and thus are tortured in many ways. They're also more likely to be locked in solitary or denied basic needs as punishment for infractions or 'talking back'.People might think a gay men in prison could have a great time surrounded by lot of sex starved men.
The reality is prisons are dangerous. Most of the inmates are average looking so it is not going be like porn scenario. Most of the sex or a large amount will be coerced or forced. Gay will vulnerable to being raped or exploited.
So hopefully if he is attracted to men Luigi will find someone nice and protective and have some fantastic interludes shall we say.
It is a shame prison isn't like a porno. Some beefy muscular guy takes you under his wing. Dominates the men who want to fucks you and makes them serve you both. He is the boss of the prison wing and so people do what he says so they keep your cell clean and massage your feet and service you in *ahem* all sorts of interesting ways.
you should look up Big Herc on Youtube Fresh Out, where he interviews former inmatesPeople might think a gay men in prison could have a great time surrounded by lot of sex starved men.

It all depends on which team you're batting for.He somehow convinced the DOJ to stop this pesky prosecution as it was interfering with his ability to act as mayor.
In common sense, there are "Equal" and "More Equal"

Although totally unrealistic, I want to imagine he was totally nude when this photo was taken.
He does know how to strike a nice pose.Although totally unrealistic, I want to imagine he was totally nude when this photo was taken.

like it's partially having expert photographers around but like, i'd be looking like fucking shrek after going through what he went though and he's out here looking like a model effortlessly![]()
In Luigi's case, he's very likely alone and will be untouched by anyone but his lawyer for quite a long time
