Mangione Lawyer: Luigi Mangione Is Being Treated Like a Human Ping-Pong Ball Between Two Warring Jurisdictions

EXCERPT:

SCANNELL: “His attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, telling Judge Gregory Carro that Mangione was being used like, quote, ‘political fodder.’”
AGNIFILO: “He’s a young man and he is being treated like a human ping pong ball between two warring jurisdictions here.”
SCANNELL: “Saying last week’s now infamous perp walk with Mangione stepping off a helicopter surrounded by heavily armed law enforcement officers and New York City Mayor Eric Adams trailing behind was inappropriate.”
AGNIFILO: “Frankly, Your Honor, the mayor should know more than anyone about the presumption of innocence.”
SCANNELL: “Noting Adams own legal problems over federal charges, including bribery, to which he has pled not guilty.”
AGNIFILO: “I submit that he was just trying to detract from those issues by making a spectacle of Mr. Mangione.”
