"The hearing stems from evidence seized after Mangione's arrest. Mangione's lawyers say items were taken before he was read his rights. On Saturday, the court authorized an additional release of evidence, including a piece of paper with a to-do list, which prosecutors say was linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Another photo showed a folding knife that prosecutors say was pulled from Mangione's pockets."
"There's also a Greyhound bus ticket issued to Sam Dawson, which is one of multiple aliases that prosecutors say Mangione used. Mangione allegedly told officers during his arrest that his name was Mark Rosario, matching a fake New Jersey driver's license. During his pretrial hearing, Mangione's attorneys are challenging the way the evidence was obtained, trying to get it thrown out of court ahead of his murder trial."
"Mangione's arrest came after that 911 call after he was spotted at a McDonald's. The 911 call was released for the first time last week in court: McDonald's Manager: "I have a customer here that some other customers were suspicious of, that he looked like the CEO shooter from New York." 911 Dispatcher: "You said black jacket?" McDonald's Manager: "Uh huh. A tan beanie." 911 Dispatcher: "OK." McDonald's Manager: "And like the blue medical mask.""
Accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione is back in court as a judge considers whether evidence seized after his arrest can be used at trial. Defense lawyers contend officers searched Mangione and took items before reading Miranda rights and seek suppression of the ghost gun and a journal found in his backpack. Prosecutors contend the search was lawful under Pennsylvania law and note the journal contains bitter writings against for-profit health insurers. Additional released evidence includes a to-do list allegedly linked to the murder, a photo of a folding knife, and a Greyhound ticket tied to an alias Mangione reportedly used.
