It was a terrible decision by a NY court to apply NY law (which has a narrower scope to the inevitable discovery exception) to a search conducted by Pennsylvania police within Pennsylvania.
On the bright side, the federal court decided to allow all of the evidence to be admitted in the federal trial. If convicted (federal prosecutors rarely lose a case), he will rot in federal prison for a very long time.

The key piece of evidence, the gun used to kill Brian Thompson, CAN be used as evidence.
Some evidence found in Luigi Mangione’s backpack at the time of his arrest will be excluded from his upcoming trial, a New York judge ruled Monday, though other key items – including a 3D-printed gun and writings expressing frustration with the healthcare industry – will be allowed.
Although some of Mangione’s belongings were tossed from the case, the mixed ruling is largely a victory for prosecutors, who will be able to show jurors the so-called “manifesto” and the firearm they say was used to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

From the article:

Then price by the quart.

Defamation is not a viable case if the statement is true, but a tort claim might be: public disclosure of private facts or intentional infliction of emotional distress. But the cost to litigate it would probably exceed any damages awarded unless he could prove, say, he was denied a promotion or job because of the disclosure.

The landscape and vegetation makes me think this must be Alaska.

According to AI, it’s most likely one of two spots: either Najah’s Desert Oasis Chevron in Essex, California, along historic Route 66 in the Mojave Desert, or the Chevron station in Goffs, California, at the intersection of Route 66 (National Old Trails Road) and Lansefair Road.

Route 66 sign is a clue.

Palm tree, in Alaska?

Tried Andy. Mediocre massage, enjoyable ending, picture is AI and he is not muscular like in the picture. Nice and personable but nothing special, in my experience.

Just get a 50-year mortgage.
