US EditionLuigi Mangione will appear in court as his attorneys seek to have key evidence tossed from state murder case
Defense lawyers argue evidence from Mangione's Altoona arrest was obtained without a warrant or Miranda warnings, potentially weakening the state's murder case, prosecutors say.
- On Dec. 1, Luigi Mangione will appear in Manhattan court for suppression hearings seeking to bar diary entries and other evidence before Acting Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro at the Lower Manhattan criminal courthouse.
- Defense attorneys say the search and questioning were unlawful, arguing police conducted a warrantless search of Mangione's backpack at an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald's and questioned him before Miranda warnings, seeking to suppress statements made between Dec. 9 and Dec. 19 and before his Dec. 19 extradition.
- Prosecutors say evidence recovered from the backpack includes a 3D-printed ghost gun and silencer, a gun matching ballistic evidence, ammunition, and a red notebook with writings prosecutors call a "manifesto".
- Excluding key evidence would undercut prosecutors' case in state and federal trials, as Mangione's defense calls suppressing the gun and notebook a critical win that could remove motive and weapon, while prosecutors say they can prove inevitable discovery justified the backpack search.
- Public support and wide media coverage raise concerns about jury contamination, as defense attorneys' letter to the judge warns showing the notebook would `irreparably prejudice Mr. Mangione` amid supporters wearing `Free Luigi` shirts.
