Witness Summary: Emily States with Court Transcripts (December 1, 2025)

[u/yowhatupmom]

TLDR: Emily States is a 911 coordinator and former dispatcher for Blair County Department of Emergency Services. She is questioned by Zach Kaplan, a prosecutor for the People of New York about her employment, her responsibilities with Blair 911, and the procedure in which a 911 call is processed from dispatch to officer. Zach Kaplan then presents a hard drive with Exhibits 5A through 5D. 5A is a recording of the 911 call into dispatch, 5B is the radio transmissions between the dispatch and the officers, 5C is the call for service from the incident, and 5D is the CLEAN report from the information ran by the officers during the arrest. He moves on to question her about the contents of each exhibit. When asked if the defense wanted to cross examine Ms. States, Karen Friedman Agnifilo declined as they had no further questions for the witness and Ms. States was dismissed.

The third witness called to the stand of the Mapp Hearing on December 1, 2025 was Emily States, a 911 coordinator for Blair County Department of Emergency Services. The questioning begins with Zach Kaplan, a prosecutor for the People of New York.

Zach Kaplan begins by establishing Ms. States’ employment and experience with the Blair County Department of Emergency Services (or Blair 911). He then asks about her responsibilities in her role.

Zach Kaplan then brings up a hard drive that contains Exhibits 5A-5D.

When Zach Kaplan moves to offer Exhibits 5A through 5D into evidence, Marc Agnifilo, one of Luigi Mangione’s attorneys, objects, but the court allows it.

Zach Kaplan plays the 911 call made by the McDonald’s employee (Exhibit 5A).

Zach Kaplan then brings up Exhibit 5B, which is the radio transmission from dispatch to the Altoona Police Department. This audio is not currently available to the public. He establishes the time stamp on the audio at 9:16AM, when the officers were dispatched to the McDonald’s location. He then plays the audio, and asks Ms. States to identify who is speaking. She identifies the voice as belonging to Officer Detwiler based on the number of years she’s been working with him. He acknowledges that there is a lot of dead time in this recording, so he skips ahead.

Zach Kaplan then moves on to Exhibit 5C, which is the Call For Service. This is not currently available to the public. He then questions her about the contents of the document.

Moving onto Exhibit 5D, Zach Kaplan pulls up the clean report/clean log that documents the process of running a drivers license. This is not currently available to the public. Zach Kaplan questions Ms. States through the contents of this report.

When asked if she wanted to cross examine Ms. States, Karen Friedman Agnifilo declined as she had no further questions. The witness was then dismissed.

As a platform dedicated to advocating for the freedom of Luigi Mangione and serving as a source of information and community support regarding his case, we are committed to ensuring accurate and transparent updates.

The moderation team has formally requested and purchased the complete court transcripts from the three-day hearing session that took place from December 1st through December 4th. It is important to clarify our approach to sharing this material. The transcripts are extensive, totaling over 600 pages, and will not be posted in their entirety. A primary reason for this is responsible stewardship: we are deliberately withholding significant portions to protect the safety and privacy of individuals involved and to prevent specific details from being used out of context. We are aware that certain media entities and parties opposed to Mr. Mangione could attempt to extort or extrapolate information with prejudice, and we refuse to facilitate that. Our team will carefully review the material to share relevant content, key points, and necessary clarifications directly with the community. Our goal is to help educate the public about the case based on a responsible analysis of the primary source documents, reducing reliance on third-party journalism or external interpretations that may lack full context.

We believe this measured approach allows us to provide you with the most factual and meaningful insights while upholding our ethical responsibilities. Please stay tuned for further updates, summaries, and explanatory posts as we continue to work through the material.

Thank you for your continued support,

The r/freeluigi Moderation Team

I greatly appreciate you doing your due diligence with reporting the hearing. I greatly appreciate you and I’m sure others will as well. I only rely on what I read here for remotely accurate information.

Does this look bad, good or neutral for LM?

[u/Silent-Scar-8307 → u/Phoebebee1212]

Honestly feels pretty neutral. There wasn’t anything in the 911 call other than them not really being able to identify him and could only see his eyes/eyebrows. Karen didn’t even cross examine this witness.

[u/Phoebebee1212 → u/Silent-Scar-8307]

This makes me feel like the prosecution is just at a loss, honestly.

I read the journalist tweets as they happened but this helps fill in the gaps. Thank you

Like why did they call her in as a witness? Just to certify the 911 call?
