US EditionMangione attorneys reject characterization of his mother’s statement
Defense disputes prosecutors’ claim about Mangione’s mother’s remark, highlighting lack of documented evidence amid ongoing murder trial.
- In a Wednesday court filing, Mangione's legal team demanded prosecutors produce proof that Kathleen Mangione, his mother, made the alleged remark or correct the record.
- NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said an officer contacted Kathleen Mangione after a San Francisco missing-persons report and relayed she said the shooting 'might' be something she could see her son doing, and officials cited an FBI tip from a San Francisco police sergeant.
- Prosecutors say Mangione shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel on West 54th Street, and police arrested Mangione at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after a five-day manhunt.
- Prosecutors are expected to respond in a future filing and a state hearing is scheduled for Dec. 1, while the defense asked the judge to declare the DA's discovery certification insufficient and Mangione has pleaded not guilty.
- Defense attorneys allege local and national media widely publicized the chief's remark, claiming officials 'purposefully provided false information' that prejudiced Mangione's fair trial, and a call to Kathleen Mangione's listed number was disconnected.
