(DCNF)—Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz raised questions Monday about one detail in the arrest of a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson.
On Monday, police in Altoona, Pa. arrested Luigi Mangione, a person of interest in the fatal Dec. 4 shooting of Thompson, following an extensive manhunt. Dershowitz, a former Harvard law school professor, said that police may have violated Mangione’s rights in their search after the arrest, potentially endangering a conviction for the killing.
“I’m a little nervous about one aspect of the arrest. According to newspaper reports… when they arrested him, they found in his possession a series of documents relating to insurance companies. I don’t think that was based on a constitutional search,” Dershowitz said. “Get mad at me, but I believe in the Constitution. Look, I want this guy to be convicted if he did it, and obviously, it seems 99.999999% certain that he did it, notwithstanding the presumption of innocence, but I insist every I be dotted, every T be crossed when it comes to the Constitution.”
“Now the rules are this: When you arrest somebody, you can conduct a search that is consistent with the arrest and you can make sure you he has no guns, you can make sure he has no knives, no weapons, nothing like that, no means of escape, that’s all legitimate,” Dershowitz added. “But if you find in his pocket, you know a series of documents, there are cases, it’s not clear, that suggest before you read the documents, let’s assume… they were enclosed in an envelope, or they weren’t, there was more than one page, before you go inside the document, you may very well need a search warrant.”
The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits unreasonable search and seizure. Failure to obtain a search warrant outside certain exceptions can result in a judge excluding evidence obtained in the search, according to Findlaw.
“It would have been easily obtainable, and you know, maybe no harm no foul, but the police should have obtained a search warrant,” Dershowitz said. “Maybe they did… But particularly when you have a case that’s so obvious and so apparent, police should do everything in their power to avoid giving the defense any arguments at all, the same thing happened in the O.J. Simpson case, they so clearly climbed over the fence, made up a story that that they were there to protect him.”

“I don’t want to see anything endangering a potential conviction in this case,” Dershowitz said later.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
