US EditionLuigi Mangione Returns to Court for Day 4 of Pretrial Evidence Hearing
The hearing focuses on disputed evidence including a handgun and motive notes linking Luigi Mangione to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
- On December 8, 2025, Luigi Mangione appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court for the fourth day of a suppression hearing, with Judge Gregory Carro ordering continuation once Mangione is medically cleared.
- Defense lawyers argue backpack searches in Altoona, Pennsylvania violated rights, seeking to exclude a 9mm handgun and silencer plus a handwritten notebook alleging anti-health-insurance sentiments, while prosecutors contend these prove motive and premeditation.
- When officers formally arrested Mangione at 9:58 a.m., they initially found some items but later discovered a loaded handgun, silencer, and journal in his backpack, while body-camera footage shows Altoona officers questioning him for 20 minutes.
- The court's evidence rulings could determine what the state jury sees, as prosecutors previewed video, audio and forensic evidence anchoring the New York state prosecution and parallel federal case.
- A five-day manhunt ended after a McDonald’s manager placed a 911 call, with court testimony describing seized items including over 256 dollars in cash and handwritten maps, and video showed Mangione stripping before body-camera removal.
