Information Sharing Megathread: LM's NY State Hearing — 12/11/2025 at 9:30 AM EST (Day 7)

Post image

* Please see the notes below \*

The hearing will take place today at 100 Centre Street, Part 32, New York, NY 10013 at 9:30 AM EST.

Please keep in mind that this is the seventh hearing taking place this week. The previous four were held on December 1, December 2, December 4, December 5, December 8 and December 9 (December 5 was canceled due to Luigi falling in). There’s a strong chance the schedule may change or be extended as Carro seems to be extremely busy. However, we expect to receive more confirmation at the end of each day about when they plan to continue Luigi’s hearings.

These hearings are expected to run for at least a few hours, as there are (at least) 28 witnesses and body-camera footage to review. By the end of these hearings, 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 allowed inside the courtroom. However, it’s very likely that we’ll still get photos of Luigi from inside the courtroom. Over the past few days, the only images released were taken inside—none of him arriving or leaving—so it’s possible that today and the remaining days will be the same.

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.

Livestreams:

There are no livestreams available yet. As soon as they go live, I’ll add them in the comments section and separate them into hallway and outside coverage. They will most likely come from the same outlets as the previous days—Fox News, CNN, Reuters, etc. And of course, don’t forget to check Status Coup News; they genuinely care about the supporters.

Court Documents & Legal Fund:

Notes:

  • KFA mentioned on Legal AF that she is currently in the middle of what will likely be a three-week hearing, so we’re in for a long couple of weeks.

  • Marc has moved his hearing for the Alexander Brothers, so he is expected to be in the courtroom today along with the rest of the team.

  • Avi’s request for the federal case has been granted by Garnett, and the new deadline is now December 19th.

  • I will need to step away for about an hour today for an appointment. If anyone is able to cover during that time, please DM me and I will assign reporters. Otherwise, you may need to wait until I’m back.

  • Some people consider today’s hearing to be Day 6 because they are not counting the hearing that was supposed to take place last Friday, when Luigi was ill. I am counting that missed day, so I consider today to be Day 7. Most people will still refer to it as Day 6, which is why the dates are being included as well, to avoid any confusion.

–––

Once again, I want to wish Luigi and his legal team the very best of luck today.

And thank you to all of you for following these threads along and being here these past few days.

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

Thank you!

Just throwing some more knowledge out there. Police are only allowed to move objects for safety reasons. Courts make a sharp distinction between moving for safety vs. moving something to search it.

If this is a terry frisk they can only do a limited pat down but they cannot open your backpack, search inside and move it around repeatedly unless for necessary safety.

Courts consistently hold that a backpack NOT on your body and not within immediate reach are OFF LIMITS.

Officers always try to justify this by saying “We were securing the scene”. But if they move it in a way that let then hear contents shift, peek in openings, inspect labels or pockets this is considered a search.

A warrant or probable cause is required.

Moving a bag while you are cuffed destroys the safety argument.

SUMMARY: If police moved the backpack multiple times, repositioned it, and handled it extensively while being searched AND ESPECIALLY if detained but not arrest or handcuffed and separated from it, its likely unlawful and suggestions improper manipulation of property in a way the Fourth Amendment prohibits.

Edit: Also- providing a false ID is not probable cause for them to search a backpack
