US judge grants accused CEO killer Mangione’s bid to suppress evidence due to unlawful search
- On Monday, Justice Gregory Carro ruled that police unlawfully searched Luigi Mangione's backpack during his Pennsylvania arrest, suppressing evidence from the initial search but permitting items recovered in a subsequent lawful station-house search.
- UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed on December 4, 2024, outside a Manhattan Hilton, prompting a manhunt that led to Mangione's arrest five days later in Pennsylvania.
- The handgun allegedly used in the shooting, a silencer, and journals remain admissible despite the suppression, diverging from the federal case where U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett previously approved all backpack evidence.
- Scheduled to begin on September 8, Mangione's state trial is expected to last six weeks, with him having pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and six weapons-related counts.
- Federal prosecutors removed the death penalty from their separate case, and Justice Carro previously dismissed terrorism charges, as critics of the health insurance industry continue attending Mangione's court appearances.
