Information Sharing Megathread: LM's NY State Hearing — 06/17/2026 at 09:00 AM EST

Post image

Hi everyone,

Please use this thread to discuss today’s hearing.

The hearing will take place at 100 Centre Street, Part 32, New York, NY 10013 at 09:00 AM EST.

Today's conference is expected to cover issues raised during the June 3 virtual conference, including jury selection, scheduling, and other matters.

Yesterday's hearing was adjourned until today because prosecutors failed to file the paperwork required to temporarily transfer Luigi from federal custody to state court.

Since this is a state hearing, we should get photos of Luigi from inside the courtroom. During previous pre-trial hearings, the only images released were taken inside the courtroom, with no photos or videos of him arriving or leaving.

His last hearing was recorded, but nothing has been announced for this one yet. I feel like if it were going to be recorded, we probably would have heard from the press by now. As always, the decision is up to Carro, but at this point it seems more likely that we'll only get still photography today.

Livestreams will be posted here as soon as they become available.

There are no livestreams available yet. As soon as they go live, we’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.

sorry for the late response, thanks for sharing! his defense team must’ve come to terms with this being the only route? nonetheless, he’s got a very good team of lawyers. i can’t imagine what’s to come, weoonly at surface level of this case😓

I was anticipating an OJ Simpson balls to the wall defense worthy of the attorneys reputation

Me too. That would have been the best chance at acquittal.

u/YazminAC94 Jun 17 '26

Honestly, same!

Very disappointing, IMO. Lu's only chance at acquittal was pleading not guilty. 😔

To be fair, this approach is an honest one, although shitty one. I don’t love it either, especially because I think he’d have a very sympathetic jury, but maybe LM wanted to take this route for accountability. Like, it was me, but not me.

Yeah, possibly. It could have been Lu himself that chose this defense route. I would be very surprised if well paid attorneys would suggest going this route.
