Illness Halts Mangione Evidence Hearing After Release of 911 Call and Photos

The pause delays an admissibility ruling that could shape the New York case with consequences for the parallel federal prosecution.

Overview

  • Judge Gregory Carro postponed the fourth day of the New York suppression hearing after lawyers said Luigi Mangione was ill, with proceedings set to resume Monday.
  • Prosecutors released the Altoona McDonald's 911 recording and photos of seized items, and in court played bodycam video from the Dec. 9, 2024 arrest.
  • Defense attorneys are seeking to exclude the backpack contents and pre-arrest statements, arguing an unlawful warrantless search and questioning before Miranda warnings.
  • Prosecutors say the bag held a 3D‑printed 9mm pistol with a suppressor and a notebook expressing hostility toward health insurers, plus cash, a laptop and travel tickets.
  • Testimony described about 18–20 minutes of questions before Miranda, a fake New Jersey ID as "Mark Rosario," and tickets under the alias "Sam Dawson," including travel out of New York the day of the shooting; the federal case remains pending with possible death‑penalty exposure.
