A New York judge will allow a gun and writings found in Luigi Mangione's backpack after his 2024 arrest to be presented at his state murder trial, but has ruled that other items are inadmissible.
Judge Gregory Carro ruled on Monday that certain evidence "must be suppressed, including the magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip" found with Mangione at a Pennsylvania McDonald's.
Carro said that evidence was recovered as part of an "improper and warrantless search" of the then-26-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
