Luigi Mangione Challenges Pennsylvania Charges Over Alleged Arrest Violations

The accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson claims evidence from his Pennsylvania arrest was obtained unlawfully.

Luigi Mangione's lawyer has filed a motion to dismiss Pennsylvania state charges, arguing his arrest violated legal procedures.
Mangione, 26, is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on December 4, 2024, and fleeing to Pennsylvania.
The defense contends police lacked probable cause, conducted an illegal search, and unlawfully detained Mangione at a McDonald’s in Altoona on December 9, 2024.
Evidence seized during the arrest, including a firearm and a notebook labeled a 'manifesto,' is being challenged as inadmissible.
Mangione’s legal defense fund has raised over $720,000, including a record $36,500 donation, with supporters citing concerns over prosecutorial conduct.
