Judge Gregory Carro determined the backpack was not sufficiently under Mangione’s control at the time of the stop, ordering the suppression of the magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip, while permitting a journal from the backpack—later inventoried at police headquarters—to be admitted as evidence.

Anton makes a minor mistake about NYC and New York State but honestly, I don't even know why I know that, it's not even important to me, because I live on the other side of our ball.
