“‘I’d like to correct two things,’” Mangione said after the prosecutor finished speaking, according to CNN’s Danny Freeman, “‘I don’t know where any of that money came from—I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication.’”

Given his education, you’d think he’d know to STFU.

Do you know if this is a mistake?

I took it as him letting the public know they are cheating their work. I am not sure if this will have legal blow back for him.

I think he got has a competent counsel now.

Exactly. Even with a slam dunk case, sometimes cops want an extra edge. I can't help but think of how it went down for OJ Simpson with police NOT doing what they were supposed to do and screwing the whole thing up.
