Overview
- The court on Saturday authorized an additional release of evidence, including a to‑do list, a photo of a folding knife, and a Greyhound ticket issued under an alias.
- Proceedings are set to restart Monday, with no decision yet on whether the 9mm handgun and journal taken from a backpack in Altoona will be suppressed.
- Defense lawyers argue police searched the backpack without a warrant after telling Luigi Mangione he was not in custody and before Miranda warnings, while prosecutors point to Pennsylvania law and public‑safety and incident‑to‑arrest exceptions.
- Exhibits presented include a McDonald’s 911 call describing a suspicious masked customer and body‑camera footage from Altoona officers.
- Judge Gregory Carro initially sealed materials and later allowed limited unsealing after media objections, following an incident in which a reporter was ejected from the courtroom.
