Overview
- Mangione returns to a Manhattan courtroom Monday for continued suppression hearings, and Judge Gregory Carro has not yet ruled on admissibility.
- Prosecutors released photos late Saturday showing a USB necklace, a Greyhound ticket to Pittsburgh, a handwritten to-do note, clothing, a pocketknife with zip ties, and a medical mask.
- The defense moves to exclude a 9mm handgun, a journal and statements, arguing a warrantless backpack search and pre-Miranda questioning violated Fourth- and Fifth-Amendment rights.
- Prosecutors say officers acted lawfully under search-incident-to-arrest and public-safety principles and contend the only relevant pre-warning statement was an alias and fake ID.
- The 911 call that led to Mangione’s Dec. 9, 2024 arrest at an Altoona McDonald’s was played in court last week, as a separate federal case proceeds with potential death-penalty exposure.
