Murder Suspect Challenges Evidence Over Alleged Illegal Police Search

Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO, claims Pennsylvania police violated his rights during his arrest at a McDonald’s.

Luigi Mangione's defense team has filed a motion to suppress evidence obtained during his December arrest, arguing the search was conducted without a warrant and violated his constitutional rights.
Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after a customer recognized him as a person of interest in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York.
Key evidence under dispute includes a 3D-printed gun, a fake driver’s license, a manifesto, and a notebook allegedly detailing plans and grievances against the health insurance industry.
Police reportedly detained Mangione for 15 minutes without reading him his Miranda rights or providing a clear reason for his detention, according to his attorney.
Mangione, who faces multiple state and federal charges, including first-degree murder, has pleaded not guilty and could face life imprisonment or the death penalty if convicted.
