"The videos, including footage from the restaurant previously unseen by the press or the public, kicked off a hearing on Mangione's fight to bar evidence from his state murder trial, including the gun prosecutors say matches the one used in the Dec. 4, 2024, attack. Thompson was killed as he walked to a Manhattan hotel for his company's annual investor conference."
"He gripped a pen in his right hand, making a fist at times, as prosecutors played a 911 call from a McDonald's manager relaying concerns from customers that Mangione looked like the suspect in Thompson's killing. The manager said she searched online for photos of the suspect and that as Mangione sat in the restaurant, she could only see his eyebrows because he was wearing a beanie and a medical face mask."
Prosecutors played multiple surveillance videos in a court hearing showing the Dec. 4, 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk and Luigi Mangione's arrest five days later at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Footage from the restaurant was previously unseen by the public. A 911 call from the manager said customers reported Mangione resembled the suspect and that she could only see his eyebrows because he wore a beanie and a medical face mask. Prosecutors say a 9 mm handgun and a notebook describing intent to "wack" a health insurance executive were recovered in a backpack. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state and federal murder charges; state charges carry the possibility of life in prison while federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. The next federal hearing is scheduled for Jan. 9.
