Just watched this myself, not seen anything quite like it.

y'all HAVE to watch this...interview??? with the inmates of the prison where luigi mangione is being held.

the reporter is standing outside the prison walls, while the inmates are inside watching the news, and collectively screaming out one-word answers to questions loud enough to be heard by the reporter.

I've never seen anything like it

Mangione was denied bail and is fighting extradition to New York

Mangione appeared in court for about 45 minutes in all, handcuffed and wearing an orange prison jumpsuit. After the hearing began, his lawyer, Thomas Dickey, told the judge that Mangione was not agreeing to be extradited to New York. “He is contesting it,” Dickey said. Mangione’s lawyer also asked the judge to set bail, which the judge refused to do. Mangione will continue to be held at a Pennsylvania prison as his extradition proceedings continue.

A Pennsylvania court has given him 14 days to file for writ of habeas corpus, and a hearing will be scheduled if he does. Mangione will stay at Huntingdon State Correctional Institution. Prosecutors have 30 days to obtain a governor’s warrant.

[ad_1] (NewsNation) — NewsNation's Alex Caprariello and Ashleigh Banfield spoke exclusively with prison inmates who called UnitedHealthcare CEO fires suspect Luigi Mangione to be transferred to Rikers Island in New York City. The inmates shouted from their cells during a live broadcast of "Banfield", describing conditions at the State Correctional Institution Huntingdon in Pennsylvania. "Luigi's conditions are bad," the inmates shouted to NewsNation's Caprariello. "Free Luigi." They also said Mangione does not have a television in his cell and expressed their desire for him to waive his extradition challenge. United Healthcare CEO killing: Suspect used 'ghost gun,' police say Mangione has a cell to himself and is kept away from other inmates. The prison menu, which inmates called "horrible," includes fruit, grits, scrambled eggs and "hedgehog meatballs" for lunch, a dish made of ground beef and rice. Gene Borrello, a former organized crime operative who spent 13 years behind bars, including four at Rikers, described conditions in the New York City jail as the "most dangerous in America." He warns that if Mangione is transferred to Rikers, he will face harsh realities, including bad food, unsanitary conditions and safety concerns. "You have to watch your back every day," Borrello said on "Banfield." "There's no structure. It's just complete chaos. ... It's non-stop stabbings and gang violence where the officers are afraid to come to work. It's a place you want to avoid." Fingerprints taken from Mangione match those found on a water bottle near the location in New York City where United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot last week. The water bottle was in an alley Mangione allegedly ran to after the shooting, sources told NewsNation local affiliate WPIX. Thompson, 50,was killed just before 7:00 a.m. on December 4near a Midtown Hilton Hotel while heading to UnitedHealth Group's annual investor meeting. NYPD officers searched for the gunman in New York and Georgia. On December 9, police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, responded to reports of a man matching authorities' description of the suspect at a local McDonald's. That's where Mangione was arrested. The NYPD said Mangione matched the description authorities were looking for and that he had a mask, firearm, suppressor and fake New Jersey ID linking him to the shooting. New reporting shows that Mangione also had a manifesto and a spiral notebook with a "to-do" list. Mangione reportedly wrote in the manifesto that he acted alone and that he "apologies for any strife or trauma, but it had to be done." "Honestly, these parasites had it coming," the manifesto says. Luigi Mangione's extradition hearing As he was escorted into a Pennsylvania courthouse Tuesday after his arrest, Mangione shouted to reporters gathered outside. "It is a complete injustice and an insult to the American people," he said. During his extradition hearing Tuesday, Mangione tried to interrupt and speak to his attorney, Thomas Dickey. The state of Pennsylvania is pursuing a gubernatorial warrant for the 26-year-old Mangione. That process could take 30 days, especially as Mangione tries to fight it. NewsNation's Alex Caprariello, Brian Entin and The Associated Press contributed to this report. [ad_2] Source link

The 1982 Wilkes-Barre Shootings part 3 On September 30, 1982, Banks was charged with 8 counts of murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, stealing a car, robbery, and theft. He was held without bail. On June 6, 1983, Bank's trial began at the Luzerne County Courthouse in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. Banks insisted on testifying. He said that he had only wounded some of the victims and police had killed them. Several scene witnesses, Banks family members, and Olsen testified. Olsen identified Banks as the person who shot him and left him for dead. Closing arguments took place on June 21, 1983. Banks's attorney argued that he was insane, but the jury found Banks guilty of 12 counts of first-degree murder, one count of third-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and one count each of robbery, theft, and endangering the life of another person. On June 22, 1983, the jury recommended the death penalty. Banks was incarcerated in the maximum-security unit at Huntingdon until November 1985. His appeals reached the U.S. Supreme Court, but it refused to overturn his verdict. He was then sent to the Correctional Institute at Graterford, where he was housed in a contained housing unit. From 1987 to 2000, Banks's attorneys continued to appeal his case. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his attorneys' argument that he lacked the mental competency to be executed. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge twice signed a death warrant for Banks; however, both times federal appellate courts have stayed his execution. In 2001, 2006, and 2008 the court held hearings about Banks' mental state to determine if he could be executed. His attorney said his mental state had deteriorated significantly since 1982 and he exhibited delusional behavior. Judge Joseph M. Augello ruled that Banks was mentally incompetent for execution or to assist his attorneys in seeking clemency. He would continue to be held in a restricted housing unit at Graterford prison. As of September 2017 he was still on death row in Pennsylvania. He was later transferred to SCI-Phoenix in May 2018. #destroytheday https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RT9HChKOR/?igshid=k36pu9nlea5s

PRISONER LAW-RETALIATION

Wisniewski v. Fisher, et al., 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 8577 (3d Cir. Pa. May 16, 2017) Vanaskie, C.J.  Appellant Thomas Wisniewski, appeals from an order of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania dismissing his amended complaint for failure to state a claim. For the reasons set forth below, we will reverse in part the District Court’s order and will remand for further proceedings.  In 2013, Wisniewski filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, naming as defendants officials and employees of the State Correctional Institution at Smithfield (“SCI-Smithfield”) in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, where he is confined. In a sprawling amended complaint, Wisniewski asserted claims of First Amendment retaliation and violations of his Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights.  Wisniewski’s amended complaint alleged that he worked as an Inmate Legal Reference Aide in the prison’s law library. Perceiving staffing shortages and believing that other library policy decisions were harming the ability of inmates to access the courts, he registered complaints with prison officials and filed inmate requests about the issues. He asserted that, in turn, he was subject to additional scrutiny when, in his library position, he provided legal assistance to qualified inmates who had been assigned to his caseload by prison officials.  Wisniewski claimed that charges were contrived against him and that he was retaliated against for his complaints.  The amended complaint suggests a pattern of retaliation beginning with his complaints to prison staff about the prison’s implementation of library policies and culminating with the loss of his position as an Inmate Legal Reference Aide.  Accordingly, construing Wisniewski’s amended complaint liberally, we believe that he adequately alleged a causal connection between those complaints and his job removal. This court has held that because exhaustion of prison administrative remedies is mandatory under the Prison Litigation Reform Act, the statute of limitations applicable to Section 1983 actions should be tolled while the prisoner pursues the mandated remedies.  We conclude that the District Court erred in dismissing claims as barred by the statute of limitations without considering whether Wisniewski properly exhausted administrative remedies and whether and to what extent the limitations period should be tolled.
