Luigi Mangione was arrested by Pennsylvania police at a McDonald's, where they allegedly circumvented legal protocols to obtain his DNA. His lawyer claims the officers' actions were unjustified and violated Mangione's rights, further asserting that they conducted an illegal search of his belongings. The details are noted in legal documents as Mangione faces serious charges in the execution-style shooting of a healthcare CEO in New York City. The attorney seeks to exclude the DNA evidence as improperly obtained due to these circumstances, which may affect the ongoing New York trial.
In a 36-page filing asking the court to exclude evidence against Mangione, Dickey says Altoona officers' 'combined actions' at the McDonald's were 'designed to not only exhibit their authority and control over [Mangione]... but to also restrict and totally curtail his liberty.'
Attorney Thomas Dickey argued that the officers' actions violated Mangione's constitutional rights, asserting, 'Any reasonable person, innocent of any crime, would have thought that he was being restrained if he had been in the Defendant's shoes.'
