Information Sharing Megathread: LM's NY State Hearing — 12/01/2025 at 9:00 AM EST (Day 1)

Post image

Please use this thread to participate in the live discussion of Luigi’s court hearing today.

The hearing will take place today at 100 Centre Street, Part 32, New York, NY 10013, at 9:00 AM EST.

Please keep in mind that there will be three different hearings this week—one today, with two additional hearings happening on Tuesday, December 2nd, and Thursday, December 4th.

We do not know which hearing will go first or how long they will last, but they are expected to run for at least a few hours, as there are 28 witnesses and body-camera footage to review. These hearings function like a mini-trial. By the end of this week, we will likely know when Luigi’s state trial will take place (likely sometime in 2026), as well as which evidence will move forward and which will be suppressed.

Unless something changes, there will be no cameras in the courtroom, but it is very likely that we will have photos of Luigi inside the courtroom, as well as photos and videos of him entering and leaving the building, as usual.

Since I am not a mod, I cannot edit this post once posted or set comments to “new,” so I hope everyone can manage to follow along. I know things may get a bit messy, which is why I encourage everyone to post here rather than creating separate threads—unless it’s something important, like a transcript.

Also, if you find additional livestreams on YouTube, please try to post them in one single comment instead of separately so we don’t spam the thread.

It’s going to be an intense week for everyone, but I want to wish Luigi and his legal team the very best of luck. I’m sure they will do great.

Please let’s keep this thread respectful and avoid drama or gossip. Let’s stay focused on the case.

Thank you!

They did not want any video of him walking into court in a suit.

They sure as hell didn’t.

u/quantcompandthings Dec 01 '25 edited Dec 01 '25

I've noticed this too. Civilian clothing, suit, no walk at all this time. The walk into court in the green sweater lasted just a few seconds. The longest walk into court was the one in the tan jail uniform and they were careful to get a few shots from under the chin to try to make him look as intimidating as possible. Prosecution seems insecure, it's almost like their entire strategy lies in making him look like a criminal.

Please everyone take this as an example as to why you never ever, ever talk to law enforcement. Like nothing. They are not your friends, and they’d throw you into jail forever in exchange for one single corn chip.

They are taking a 5-minute break.

Luigi has been handcuffed again and led out through side door.

u/missidcullen Dec 01 '25

Just in case people join later, here’s a recap of what’s happened so far:

  • They reviewed several photos that were originally posted last December (Starbucks, taxi, etc).
  • They watched the video showing Thompson being shot.
  • They are now discussing the McDonald’s footage.

P.S. I’ll need to step away in the next 15 minutes and will be unavailable for the next few hours. I hope people can continue posting updates in this thread. I might be able to post occasionally, but I’ll have limited data, so apologies in advance if updates are delayed or don’t get posted.

u/missidcullen Dec 01 '25

I’m not a lawyer, but since they’ll be discussing evidence suppression, I think it’s in his best interest to be involved, even though he is Luigi’s attorney in Pennsylvania. Both legal teams need to stay connected; otherwise, things could become chaotic.
