NOTES:

  • You can read Carro's ruling here.
  • The next state case hearing will take place on June 3 (virtual conference) to discuss jury selection, trial matters, and other issues that were brought up at sidebar today.
  • Today was a fairly “tight win" for the defense, as they managed to get some things suppressed but not others (summary below).
  • Video of the defense leaving the hearing and briefly talking to a livestreamer here.

SUMMARY:

  • The hearing started late (Carro and Luigi were the last to arrive).
  • The hearing itself was brief (around 15 minutes).
  • Carro’s ruling was posted online a few minutes before the hearing.
  • The motion was granted in part and denied in part.
  • Overall, this was a partial victory for the defense.
  • The next state case hearing will be a virtual conference on June 3, where jury selection, trial matters, and other issues will be discussed.

Evidence suppressed by Carro:

Evidence recovered during the initial backpack search at the Altoona McDonald’s was suppressed because the warrantless search was deemed unlawful under New York law. This includes:

  • Loaded handgun magazine
  • Cellphone
  • Passport
  • Wallet
  • Computer data chip / microchip

Carro also suppressed certain statements Luigi made after the court determined he was effectively “in custody” around 9:47 a.m. while surrounded by officers at McDonald’s.

Suppressed statements include:

  • Responses explaining why he lied about his identity
  • Statements about possessing a fake ID
  • Certain post-custody responses to police questioning before valid Miranda compliance

Evidence & statements that remain admissible:

Judge Carro ruled prosecutors may still use substantial evidence recovered later during the Altoona Police Department stationhouse inventory search, which he found lawful.

Admissible evidence includes:

  • Alleged 9mm ghost gun / firearm
  • Silencer
  • Red notebook / journal
  • USB drive
  • Pocket knife
  • Various papers and writings
  • Clothing and other inventoried items recovered at the stationhouse
  • Volunteered statements after the defendant was in custody

DATES

Thank you so much to everyone today!

Megathread: LM's NY State Hearing — 05/18/2026 at 09:00 AM EST

Hi everyone,

Please use this thread to discuss today’s hearing.

The hearing will take place at 100 Centre Street, Part 32, New York, NY 10013 at 09:00 AM EST.

Judge Carro is expected to deliver his ruling on the pre-trial hearings that took place between December 1 and December 18, 2025.

Yesterday, the Daily Mail reported that the hearing would be televised, but I would personally take that (and any reporter claims) with a grain of salt for now. As always, anything that comes out will be posted here.

Since this is a state hearing, we should get photos of Luigi from inside the courtroom. During the previous pre-trial hearings, the only images released were from inside the courtroom itself, with no photos or videos of him arriving or leaving, although today could be different. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Livestreams will also be posted here as soon as they become available.

Livestreams:

There are no livestreams available yet. As soon as they go live, we’ll add them in the comments section and separate them into hallway and outside coverage. They will most likely come from the same outlets as the previous days—Fox News, CNN, Reuters, etc. And of course, don’t forget to check Status Coup News; they genuinely care about the supporters.

It’s already May 6 where I am, so that officially makes it Luigi’s birthday.

Luigi has touched so many lives and continues to do so. His resilience has brought a lot of people together.

Today we also reached $1.5M for his legal fund, and it’s still growing (thanks Carl and everyone else who donated!).

I wanted to make a small appreciation post for anyone who’d like to leave a special message for him today.

Please keep things respectful. Thank you.

And don’t forget to keep supporting his legal fund:

Happy Birthday, Luigi 🧡!
