Excerpt:

Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.

“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.

After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”

“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.

        Did the lecture involve ppl in the spectrum who find it hard to identify tone in communication? I’ve found that even my most outrageous dark humor is taken seriously by a family member with Aspergers

          They were referencing a few things, but I’m sure that was one of them. I’ll have to find the comment…

          I’m also someone who makes outrageous comments or dark humour.
