00:00Luigi Mangione says that what looked like the police being hospitable to him right after they arrested him in Altoona, Pennsylvania

00:08Was actually a dirty trick and actually his lawyers are claiming an illegal one

00:14That they once they got him back to the police station

00:17After they got him at the McDonald's

00:20they offered him a snack and

00:22Soda and a soda and he says they weren't doing that just to be nice to him

00:28They were doing it because they were trying to get his DNA and in these documents they say they did obtain his DNA

00:36from the discarded food items and once he was done with that snack and

00:41That they say is an illegal search, which means everything else afterward would be what's the phrase?

00:47It's called fruit of the poison tree

00:49Which basically means that if the tree itself is tainted and the tree is the search

00:56Then all of the fruit from that tree is also inadmissible evidence. Here's problem. I have with it

01:21This is a trick and the cops trick people all the time, but getting someone's DNA is not a search

01:27It's but I mean normally you have to get a warrant, right?
