"Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a New York federal judge Saturday to dismiss some criminal charges, including the only count for which he could face the death penalty, from a federal indictment brought against him in the December assassination of UnitedHealthcare's chief executive. In papers filed in Manhattan federal court, the lawyers said prosecutors should also be prevented from using at trial his statements to law enforcement officers and his backpack where a gun and ammunition were found."
"Mangione, 27, has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges in the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson on Dec. 4 as he arrived at a Manhattan hotel for his company's annual investor conference. The killing set off a multi-state search after the suspected shooter slipped away from the scene and rode a bike to Central Park, before taking a taxi to a bus depot that offers service to several nearby states."
Luigi Mangione faces state and federal charges in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Defense lawyers filed motions asking a federal judge to dismiss some charges, including the lone count carrying possible death-penalty exposure, and to bar prosecutors from using his statements and the backpack where a gun and ammunition were found. Lawyers contend Mangione was not read his Miranda rights before questioning and that officers searched his backpack without a warrant. The killing triggered a multi-state search and a Pennsylvania tip led to his arrest. He has been held without bail since arrest.
