Transcript

00:00Mangione has a lot of supporters, an army of supporters, really, online, who are not

00:06only offering money for his defense, but they're calling out to one person in particular, Kim

00:14Kardashian.

00:15Why?

00:16And that they think in some way that Kim Kardashian can help him once he gets to court, that she

00:23can help him get acquitted of these charges.

00:28Do you know anything else about her experience in starting for the bar, or, well?

00:32Look, she's had experience in criminal justice reform, in getting people who are either wrongly

00:40convicted or harshly sentenced, getting them out of prison.

00:45But as far as a trial, and look, I highly doubt this is a case that Kim Kardashian wants

00:51to get involved in at this point, but it just goes to show you the fervor that there is

00:57online to support Mangione.

01:01And like I said, yes, there are people who are now offering to crowdfund his defense.

01:07His legal fees, I'm so, and I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, Charles, but ultimately,

01:12if this does go to court, and when you have to pick a jury, if they can even convict this

01:16guy with as popular and as beloved, shockingly to say, as he is.

01:21Right.

01:22The weird thing is, can you get an impartial jury, one that is not in his favor?

01:28I don't know if the answer is yes.

01:30Hi, this is Gentry from Georgia.

01:32Although I think Kim is doing an amazing job with the justice and prison reform, I think

01:37we need some veteran lawyers and people with more experience to work this case, because

01:43this is not her expertise, and this is going to be national news.

01:47Kim's not ready for this particular case.

01:49Yeah, I think that's just a pie in the sky thing people are putting out there.

01:53By the way, as I said, his attorney said he's going to plead not guilty, and his attorney

01:57also said, there's no evidence that I've seen connecting him to this.

02:01Well, there are reports that there are fingerprints now from the crime scene that were found on

02:08a water bottle that match his fingerprints.

02:12Wow.

02:13It would be significant to place him right there.

02:14It would be the first piece of evidence.

02:15Right.

02:16Is it enough to convict him?

02:17I would highly doubt it, but the investigation just getting started.

02:23All right.
