Hes on video shooting the guy. That wasnt in the backpack.
Eh, if he was going to be taken into custody anyway, searching his backpack at that point doesn’t matter due to inevitability. Judge won’t toss it.
I suspect this is just a clever ploy by the defense attorneys to get the case thrown out and the media is turning this into a major must read article.
Defense lawyers always claim searches are illegal and evidence should be excluded.
There is nothing illegal about searching the backpack of a known fugitive wanted for murder. Probable cause is already established.
But lawyers gotta lawyer.
Agreed. It was an inventory search of his belongings, which have to be listed and entered into his jail record anyway. It’s standard procedure for defense attorneys to challenge searches, and whoever wrote this anti-female screed is an ass.
Seems story is a Hail Mary pass being thrown by desperate defense lawyers spun as a mistake by female cop.
We might have a chain-of-custody issue with the gun, but what does the video show?
Good summary of why men and men only should be cops.
They don’t, this is just disinformation, and the case isn’t going to be tossed on this.

Exactly - who cares what’s in the backpack? He’s on camera gunning down the victim.
Tell me how it was “illegally searched”....
Just because a defense attorney claims something was illegal while trying to get their client off does not make it so.
Talk about your incendiary headline.
Seems to me, cops certainly had probably cause here.. so sounds to me like the defense is just grasping at straws trying anything to get evidence surpresed.
Not to mention the fact that the MSM, ABCNNBCBS, et al, is on the murderer’s side.................
I’m with you on this one.
Exactly, Luigi is guilty as sin.
I don’t think it will result in a mistrial, but it could result in a lower charge of something. They have him on video taking the shot, so they don’t need the gun. They only need him taking the shot.
“Just because a defense attorney claims something was illegal while trying to get their client off does not make it so.”
Exactly.....the defense lawyers are just doing their job......as dispicable as it is.
Disappointing reporting by Revolver on this. As we have seen numerous times cops in general not just females can bungle something. Plus as others have already explained this isn’t fatal to the cse.
Spectacular click bating headlines...expect better from Revolver.
Right wing nonsense site. Might as well read news of the world.
the only defense the defense can put up is to try to throw out the mountain of evidence including the written confession showing he did it.
