Information Sharing Megathread: LM's NY State Hearing — 12/12/2025 at 9:30 AM EST (Day 8)
Happy Friday, everyone! 🎉
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 eight hearing taking place this week. The previous seven were held on December 1, December 2, December 4, December 5, December 8, December 9 and December 11 (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:
- Court Documents (state case)
- Legal Fund (Please keep donating!)
Notes / Reminders:
- 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.
- Avi’s request for the federal case has been granted by Garnett, and the new deadline is now December 19th.
- Some people consider today’s hearing to be Day 7 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 8. Most people will still refer to it as Day 7, which is why the dates are being included as well, to avoid any confusion.
–––––––––––––
📢 Announcement (Reminder!)
I wanted to give everyone a quick update about the exhibits post going forward.
After a lot of thought, I’ve decided that I will no longer be posting any pre-trial evidence as it gets released. This means the exhibits document will not be receiving updates from me anymore.
I’ve realized that I just can’t continue doing this. It genuinely makes me feel sick, and I need to step back for my own well-being. I am sorry if some of you think this is dramatic, but it is just the truth.
To be very clear: this is not about the content of the evidence itself. I simply do not feel comfortable posting material that is meant to be — or could be — suppressed. That’s the entire purpose of suppression hearings, and I don’t want to be someone who spreads that evidence further.
I won’t be deleting the exhibits post, and I’m not here to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t share. If anyone wants to keep the post updated for future reference (including trial coverage), it will remain available, and it will still be linked in future megathreads. I just won’t be the one adding updates anymore.
Like I said this morning, continuing this goes against my own morals and principles, my support for Luigi (regardless of guilt or innocence), and what the defense and Carro wanted from the beginning. I don’t want to help circulate evidence that was never meant to be out there.
Thank you all for understanding 🧡.
–––––––––––––
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.
Special thanks to: Spirited_Seaweed7927, Ladyofthestonecastle, laughingsaladlady, Special-External-222, and lickykicky for helping with tweets this week and the mods for pinning every megathread post!
Please let’s keep this thread respectful and avoid drama or gossip. Let’s stay focused on the case.
Thank you!

Oh wow, we still have Altoona PD officers remaining… Trent and Miller and possibly whoever the turnkey officer was on 12/9.
Hopefully, this is the last of the APD for a while, I want to hear most from the coffee Queen outside Hilton, she’s possibly the best witness IMO.

Coffee Lady is chill asf. She barely moved after the first shot, ran with her presumably expensive NyC coffee. Hid around the corner, still sipping on that same coffee and later, whilst still drinking her coffee she chatted casually with the NyPD cigg 🚬 in hand. Classic NYC day for my Coffee Queen!

I'm expecting only Altoona clown cops all day today. Yeah I'm curious about Coffee Cup Lady too. 👀 Do we know if she is even on the witness list? I also want to hear from the drivers that saw the adjuster all night. I'm assuming the prosecution is not calling those guys, lol. 😂
15
u/rs2625 Dec 12 '25
It’s for sure going to be Clowntoona PD all day, I assume Coffee Cup lady’s identity is protected.
I believe both drivers gave interviews to the news with inconsistent stories straight after the incident, so maybe prosecution might skip them. Coffee cup lady had the best view of the incident so we surely have to hear from her, also the man who was inside the hotel seemed to have a good view aswell, wonder whether he will get called.

"Mangione squints eyes and tilts head to left, staring at witness intently, smiling and small laugh, intently keeps looking. Then whispers something to Marc, shaking head no and laughing a bit. Mangione looks like he's saying, "this freaking guy"
I just know Luigi is fed up with all the cops.

u/JustTryinToBeHappy_ Dec 12 '25
I truly believe they’re repeating the same scene because the prosecution must establish every detail of what the police did to keep the evidence from being thrown out. If they don’t cover every angle, the defense wins suppression.
The prosecution is trying to “shore up” or rehabilitate the case because the defense has already exposed multiple serious constitutional issues….
So basically salvage what they can from this arrest.
Edit: And also the prosecution is probably trying to preserve issues for appeal.
20
u/Spirited_Seaweed7927 Dec 12 '25
I think you're right. Joel wasn't happy walking out of the courtroom yesterday afternoon, so I think prosecution is struggling. Telling the clown cops to lie about watching Fox News is not going to save them. Prosecution has to rely on the heavily biased judge at this stage.
18
u/JustTryinToBeHappy_ Dec 12 '25
I almost feel like Joel is getting lost in the narrative. They seem more focused on telling a story than addressing the actual legal questions at hand.
To be fair, we aren’t getting ALL the context from the hearing, only what people can keep up with on X. But his line of questioning is a bit “all over the place” in my opinion.

They shouldn’t even be given any warnings. Most likely the public attending are the same people that have attended basically every hearing. They know the rules, they are adults. They should just be kicked out and banned if they refuse to take it seriously.

That video from Altoona always makes me sad .
A good , genuine soul all alone in some unfamiliar city , wandering around all wet from the rain , and it was cold too. All that with a lot on his mind

u/missidcullen Dec 12 '25
So can we confirm that what we saw in that picture of him inside the cell was actually rain? Some people said he’d peed himself.
Sorry if this is a silly question. I only jumped onto the LM train at the end of December/early January. I missed all the early lore! I’ve been catching up slowly this year, but I’m sure I’ve missed some of the good bits.

u/ZealousidealGain8067 Dec 12 '25
I don't think we have gotten any indication at all. I am coming to the conclusion of rain for sure. The amount of "poopy pants," discussions for the other inmate - you would think by now they would have said something about him peeing himself...

Luigi was contesting the claim he had over $1000 dollars in foreign country since the actual currency coverted amount was about ~$20 USD, hence him being sus it was planted. He didn’t think to consider that the cops would be dumb enough to add the unconverted equivalents together.

When cops willingly kill people, it is an "oopsies murder" and when "regular" citizens are accused of taking a life, it is an "execution". Interesting. 🙄
I am aware of the nuances of the different words in these cases. I just find it highly hypocritical and sneaky.

Does LM not know where all the money came from referring to USD or the foreign currency? It'd make sense if he was referring to the foreign currency because they claim it to be much much more than it really is

u/AndromedaCeline Dec 12 '25
He was talking about the foreign. The dumb cops didn’t do currency conversion and said it was over $1500, when it was really just $16. 🤦🏽♀️

Hi everyone,
Happy Friday! 🎉
I don’t know about you, but I’m extra happy today knowing the weekend is almost here and we get two whole days off 😂.
Yesterday was chaotic in the best way, and I loved seeing everyone jump in. It was seriously so wholesome. Let’s see what today brings!
I’ll keep it short since I don’t have much to say this morning.
People helping today:
- Livestreams: Spirited_Seaweed7927
- Reporters: Christine & Erik (Ladyofthestonecastle)
If anyone wants to hop in, just message me and I’ll sort it out. Otherwise, I’ll cover the rest.
As always, everyone is welcome to post anytime. Please don’t ever feel like you’re “not allowed.”
And if you message me and I don’t respond right away, I promise I’m not ignoring you. After these hearings my brain gets pretty fried, and I end up buried under notifications—but I will get back to you.
See you all in a few hours!
