The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
While prosecutors have more evidence to provide, they have so far handed over police body camera footage, police reports, surveillance videos and data from a cellphone dropped at the scene of the crime. Additionally, they have given autopsy reports, the medical examiners' forensic files and forensic DNA testing materials.
Establishment-critical narrative
The amount of evidence provided by prosecutors is threadbare in comparison to what ought to have already been received. New York Mayor Eric Adams and his police department managed to provide some of that evidence to documentary filmmakers, but not to the defense of the accused in this case. There are other constitutional issues and Mangione's right to a fair trial is in question.
