Luigi Mangione's lawyer said her client's criminal case was being politicized.
She criticized NYC Mayor Eric Adams' presence at Mangione's perp walk from a Manhattan helipad.
A lawyer representing Luigi Mangione said law enforcement was politicizing her client's arrest and prosecution, pointing to Mayor Eric Adams of New York City's attendance at Mangione's first perp walk in the state.
"Frankly, your honor, the mayor should know more than anyone of the presumption of innocence," the attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, said at a Monday-morning hearing.
