In 100 Centre Jealousy Linked Murder Trial to Bail Increase Now Bullet Tool Markings

In 100 Centre Jealousy Linked Murder Trial to Bail Increase Now Bullet Tool Markings by Matthew & Russell Lee, Patreon Substack 100 CENTRE ST, May 18 – Days before NYS Justice Gregory Carro is set to rule on Luigi Mangione's suppression motion, on May 14 he presided over a trial for the murder of Azsia Johnson. Inner City Press was there: On the stand, NYPD phone extraction technician.  ADA: Did you extract the cell phone of the victim, Azsia Johnson?  Witness: Yes. ADA: Nothing further for now. No cross.  Justice Carro: Jurors, you can go for the day. Jurors leave Defense: We object to the photos. Justice Carro: There were 200 autopsy photos, and they only used eight.  ADA: Is the defense going to stipulate? If not, we cannot close until Tuesday.  Defendant stands up to be handcuffed to a belt and is led out.   Justice Carro: They can close on Monday.   But Justice Carro started trial late on Monday - after suppressing the search in the Altoona McDonalds of Luigi Mangione's backpack - and by days end, an NYPD bullet expert was being doggedly cross examined by the defendant's second counsel about bullet tool markings. Will he testify in his own defense? Inner City Press remains on the cases --   Meanwhile two stories down, Justice Michele S. Rodney was seeing defendant after defendant. On one, she increased bail from $10,000 to $25,000 cash after hearing of jealous shouting at the door and repeated criminal contempt.    To track these cases, there is WebCrims. But the recent "improvement" is anything but. One can no longer search the calendars of multiple judges at once (unless the names, not even alphabetized, are clicked one by one). Similarly, judges' calendars now appear on multiple pages in random order. This is one improvement that should be re-thought.  *** Your support means a lot.
