    What would the news headline be?

    Luigi Still In Custody While Waiting For Hearing

    or

    Mangione’s Attorneys Presumably Working Hard

    or

    Brian Thompson Still Dead

    News doesn’t tend to report when things are the same as they were yesterday. If his lawyers aren’t talking to the press, and the prosecutors aren’t talking to the press, and the trial won’t start for another month, what exactly are the reporters going to report on?

      I would love to see the headlines if this was the norm.

      President Carter Still Dead, We Confirmed

      Obama Not President, Maybe Enjoying Retirement?

      Epstein’s Suicide Not Being Investigated

      Actually any headline of something not happening sounds super suspicious lol
