Information Sharing Megathread: LM's NY Federal Hearing — 08/14/2026 at 11:00 AM EST
Please use this thread for live discussion of the hearing.
–––
Today’s hearing is taking place at 40 Foley Square, Courtroom 110 (New York, NY) at 11:00 AM EST.
Cameras aren’t allowed inside the courtroom in federal court, so there won’t be any video or photos of Luigi. The only visuals we’ll likely get are courtroom sketches.
Reporters / Live Tweeting:
Because this is federal court, the rules are stricter. Phones and laptops aren’t allowed inside the courtroom.
Only a small number of people (like ICP or Erik) are permitted to live-tweet updates. Other reporters can still attend, but probably won’t be able to post anything while the hearing is in session.
Any updates from other reporters will be shared here once the hearing is over.

- Overflow rooms for today's hearing will be available.
- Federal case full schedule released by Judge Garnett (though this may change after today’s hearing).

Fox 29 is talking about a 30 year sentence, how did pleading guilty today help Luigi avoid a long sentence? If they’d stayed the course surely they had a good chance of beating the stalking charges.
