Overview
- U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett ordered the Bureau of Prisons to accept a specified set of clothing, including two suits and five pairs of socks, for Luigi Mangione to wear during his suppression hearings and transport from federal custody.
- State-court proceedings beginning Dec. 1 will examine whether Altoona police questioned Mangione before issuing Miranda warnings and whether his statements should be suppressed.
- The court will also consider the admissibility of items seized in Altoona, including a 9 mm ghost gun prosecutors link to the killing and a red spiral notebook they describe as a manifesto.
- The judge allowed the government to file an oversized opposition brief of up to 120 pages in advance of the New York hearings.
- Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges in the December 2024 shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, while related charges in Pennsylvania remain effectively paused because he refuses to appear remotely.
