Overview
- Prosecutors played footage showing Altoona officers questioning Luigi Mangione for roughly 20 minutes before reading him his Miranda rights after he initially presented a fake ID.
- Items displayed in court included a 3D-printed 9mm pistol, a suppressor prosecutors say was used in the killing, a diary referencing a plan to target a health-care executive, a notebook, and a USB worn on a chain.
- Travel records recovered at arrest highlighted a Philadelphia regional rail ticket timestamped 1:06 p.m. on Dec. 4, 2024, and a bus ticket under an alias to Pittsburgh arriving just before midnight.
- Defense attorneys argue the backpack search was conducted without a warrant and seek to exclude the bag’s contents and pre-Miranda statements, with additional Altoona officers slated to testify Friday.
- Prosecutors released photos showing more than $7,000 in cash and a laptop and played the 911 call that led police to the McDonald’s, as both state and federal prosecutions remain pending with possible capital exposure federally.
