Judge says he'll rule in May on Luigi Mangione’s fight to exclude evidence from NY murder trial
State judge to decide on legality of warrantless search and admissibility of a 9 mm handgun and notebook in Mangione's murder trial by May 18, 2026.
- After a two-week Manhattan hearing, Judge Gregory Carro will rule on May 18, 2026, on evidence in Luigi Mangione's murder case of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
- Defense attorneys argue police opened Luigi Mangione's backpack without a warrant and questioned him before Miranda warnings, seeking to suppress seized items and statements from McDonald's and jail guards.
- Chain-of-Custody testimony noted that officials say the backpack held a 3D-printed gun, silencer, electronic devices, and a red notebook, while David Leonardi testified he transported evidence from Pennsylvania to Manhattan and multiple bags lacked recorded times upon NYPD transfer.
- A state suppression ruling will determine if jurors can see a 9 mm handgun and notebook, while a federal judge will review evidence at the Jan. 9 hearing; Mangione faces life in prison if convicted.
- Testimony Tuesday focused on how evidence was handled after Mangione's Dec. 9, 2024 arrest, while Anissa Weisel described a timeline the defense said omitted key details.
