The prosecution forgot to submit the paperwork to have Luigi be released from prison for his hearing today so everyone got into the courtroom and was like where's Luigi
They forgot Luigi 💀
Ok let's just make believe for a moment and pretend the justice system is, well, just and fair, and not stacked against you and such.
How the fuck do you, the prosecutor reading this, come back from such a historic fumble. There's no way this shit flies and the judge doesn't just tell them to fuck off.
"Even though the chain of custody for this evidence has some .... gaps in it, we are profressionals so you trust it overall"
Often it's the court's responsibility to prepare paperwork like this, not the prosecutor's. I'm not sure we should even take this report at face value as it's from an account that seems set on clowning on the whole case.
Assuming it is a misstep by the prosecutor, it's almost certainly not anything that would derail the case. At best it could contribute to a speedy trial motion.

A hearing in Luigi Mangione ’s state murder case in the killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was postponed until Wednesday after prosecutors failed to inform his jailors that he was needed in court.
Judge Gregory Carro had scheduled the hearing for Tuesday but adjourned it about a half-hour after it was supposed to start when Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann told him that prosecutors had failed to send required paperwork to the jail.
“It's on us,” Seidemann said. “We got the writ signed but we failed to serve it.”
“That's unfortunate,” Carro replied.
Seidemann noted that the judge in Mangione's federal case, Margaret Garnett, had sent an order to the jail authorizing him to wear a suit to court, but the prosecutor acknowledged that alone wasn't enough to get him brought to court
