00:00Luigi Mangione says that what looked like the police being hospitable to him right after they arrested him in Altoona, Pennsylvania
00:08Was actually a dirty trick and actually his lawyers are claiming an illegal one
00:14That they once they got him back to the police station
00:17After they got him at the McDonald's
00:20they offered him a snack and
00:22Soda and a soda and he says they weren't doing that just to be nice to him
00:28They were doing it because they were trying to get his DNA and in these documents they say they did obtain his DNA
00:36from the discarded food items and once he was done with that snack and
00:41That they say is an illegal search, which means everything else afterward would be what's the phrase?
00:47It's called fruit of the poison tree
00:49Which basically means that if the tree itself is tainted and the tree is the search
00:56Then all of the fruit from that tree is also inadmissible evidence. Here's problem. I have with it
01:02I have several problems with it. Number one. Why do you need a snack? If he was just at McDonald's, that's number one
01:06I mean, why did why do you still hungry? Why is he still hungry?
01:10Well, that's kind of irrelevant, but it's something that popped into my head. The more relevant stuff is get to that
01:16They're saying this is an illegal search. This is not a search to me
01:21This is a trick and the cops trick people all the time, but getting someone's DNA is not a search
01:27It's but I mean normally you have to get a warrant, right?
