Judge Grants Luigi Mangione’s Request to Supress Some Evidence
A New York State judge ruled prosecutors cannot use some of the evidence found inside Luigi Mangione’s backpack when he was arrested. Mr. Mangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive, Brian Thompson, outside a Manhattan hotel in 2024.

“So as to the Mapp issues, I find that the search of the backpack at the McDonald’s was improper, warrantless search. Therefore, those items found in the backpack during the search at the McDonald’s will be suppressed.” “Thank you. What’s your name?” “Mark.” “What is it?” “Mark.” “Mark?” “Yes, sir. “Mark what?” “Rosario.” “Rosario — someone called. They thought you were suspicious.” “As Miranda warnings were not given until some seconds after 9:48 in the morning, those statements made shortly before that, in response to improper custodial questions that were not merely a request for pedigree information, will be suppressed.”
