Luigi Mangione To Appear In Court Amid Looming Anniversary Of CEO Killing
HuffPost
The 27-year-old accused killer is back for a pretrial hearing this week.
Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York last year, is expected to appear in state court once more on Monday for a key pretrial hearing.
Thompson’s Dec. 4 death outside his midtown Manhattan hotel sparked an enormous manhunt that ended five days later in a rural Pennsylvania McDonald’s — which will be the topic of much of the discussion this week.
Mangione’s lawyers argue that there were problems with the way local police carried out his arrest, having apparently searched him and seized his belongings before obtaining a warrant for them.
The defense will try to convince New York Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro to bar certain crucial pieces of evidence from the trial. Those include a red notebook and other writings allegedly recovered from Mangione’s backpack that supposedly reference the killing.
“We ask that the Court bar the prosecution from introducing the contents of the notebook or any writings into evidence at the hearing, as doing so would make their contents public and would irreparably prejudice Mr. Mangione at his multiple upcoming trials,” the defense said in a recent court filing.
