Pennsylvania Police Lieutenant Testifies About Luigi Mangione's Arrest
Police testimony focuses on arrest procedures and evidence seizure at Altoona McDonald's in case of alleged December shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO, with ruling expected in January.
- On Thursday, Luigi Mangione returned to a New York City courtroom for a sixth day of pretrial evidence hearings, with Judge Gregory Carro planning a January ruling.
- Mangione's defense lawyers seek to suppress items seized in Pennsylvania and statements taken after delayed Miranda warnings, while Lieutenant William Hanelly testified he had reasonable suspicion and consulted District Attorney Peter Weeks.
- Officer Christy Wasser, Altoona Police Department, searched Luigi Mangione's backpack at the station after a scene search, finding a pistol, suppressor, and loaded magazine wrapped in wet boxers, then repacked it.
- If the court finds the search unreasonable, the gun and suppressor could be excluded from trial under the exclusionary rule, and defense cross-examination raised chain-of-custody concerns affecting admissibility.
- Judge Gregory Carro defended sealing exhibits to avoid prejudicing a jury, citing Daily News v. Wiley and invited the press to file unsealing applications while Robert Balin urged redactions for about 20 video clips.
