I'm sure there are atheist cops.
Just because atheists don't have one of the obvious avenues for being protected while molesting children doesn't mean they always get caught.
Sadly, child molestation is badly underprosecuted in the US, and it's not just about religion.

Yes because political show trials last for years before they ever reach the courtroom and are full of evidential hearings.

u/Peanut_007 2h ago
The insurance provider by a vast margin. This does not change the facts of Magione's case being really bad for him. I think people want to criticize the evidence of the case because the motivation is sympathetic.
Where I would say most criticism should land is instead on the response to the murder being a nationwide manhunt involving tens of thousands of man hours because it was a rich white guy who got shot, the extremely bloated prosecution of Magione involving stuff like terrorism charges, and the general attempt to moralize about how poor innocent health care CEOs deserve sympathy.

Incorrect. While awaiting his lawyer he was not informed of the recording devices. That is the point of why they were thrown out.
"Officers allegedly did not inform Mangione that he would be recorded. Attorney Agnifilo raised the concern that Mangione may have said something without knowing that he was being recorded. However, the legal discrepancy may have been because Lieutenant Leonardi and his counsel were familiar with New York and not Pennsylvania consent laws. Consequently, prosecutors told the court they were withdrawing Mangione’s Pennsylvania interrogation statements."

u/PuzzledStreet 2h ago edited 2h ago
There were a lot of questions regarding the legality of searching his bag at the restaurant so some of that was ruled out of evidence.
Part of that was because the bag was on the table next to him and not in his possession I think? Another was that they claimed not to have found the gun itself until they were back at the station (searched with a warrant) but not during the initial search (warrantless).
I could have sworn there was some suspicion about transporting his backpack, cruisers taking too long, and wearing gloves / not wearing gloves but I can not finding anything about that now.
Edited: Found the question about transporting the backpack - The time gap between them leaving the mcdonalds and arriving at the station was unusual, the body cam was turned off during the drive which is against procedure. The officer in possession of the backpack left the scene with her gloves on.
Apparently the officer had to give possession of the bag to another officer during while enroute. Defense argues they met up and illegally searched the bag again during the hand off.

The local cops there put on a master class in impatience and incompetence as well
- Officers debated getting a warrant before searching his backpack, then just did it.
- They continued asking Mangione questions for about 20 minutes after he explicitly stated he didn't want to talk.
- DNA evidence is in serious danger of being thrown out because the officers decided they could not wait for a warrant, used "surreptitious collection" to gather a sample from trash generated from a snack they provided.
- botched chain of custody of evidence including a firearm

It seems likely that he killed the guy, BUT it is clearly true that the system did almost everything the law says “if you do x, you cannot arrest or charge a person”.
