A New York court on Monday blocked prosecutors from using some evidence obtained from Luigi Mangione\u2019s backpack in his upcoming murder trial.<\/p>\n

Altoona, Pennsylvania, police unlawfully searched Mangione\u2019s backpack without a warrant while questioning him at a McDonald\u2019s in December 2024 over UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson\u2019s murder that month in New York City, New York Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro said in a .\u00a0The prohibited evidence includes a gun magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip.

Prosecutors can, however, use a journal found in the backpack at the police\u2019s headquarters after his arrest, Carro ruled.<\/p>\n

Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg\u2019s office and Mangione\u2019s legal team did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mangione is accused of following and gunning down Thompson on a Manhattan street and leaving behind a bullet and shell casings with the words \u201cdelay,\u201d \u201cdeny\u201d and \u201cdepose\u201d written on them. Thompson\u2019s murder became a leftist symbol for outrage against America\u2019s health care system and wealthy institutions.<\/p>\n

A McDonald\u2019s employee recognized Mangione sitting at the restaurant after authorities put out public information on a manhunt for him, prompting cops to arrive and question Mangione, court records say.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs [an officer] approached the table where the backpack was, he asked [Mangione] if there was anything in the bag they needed to know about,\u201d Carro said, summarizing the police encounter. \u201cDefendant responded that he was \u2018just going to remain silent.\u2019 [Officers] then proceeded to search the defendant\u2019s backpack.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The details of the search do not fit any \u201cexigent circumstances\u201d that would legally allow a warrantless search under the Fourteenth Amendment, Carro ruled.<\/p>\n

Mangione also faces a federal murder case and state-level Pennsylvania charges related to his December 2024 arrest. He secured another legal win in January when a Biden-appointed federal judge ruled that he would not face the possibility of the death penalty despite the Trump administration\u2019s push for it.<\/p>\n
