Luigi Mangione Appears in Court for Pretrial Hearing

A year after Luigi Mangione allegedly murdered United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, he was identified in court by a police officer who encountered him in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Mangione’s defense is seeking to exclude key evidence, including the alleged murder weapon and his journal, claiming they were unlawfully seized. During the pretrial hearing, body camera footage showed Mangione’s interactions with the officers, including providing a false ID. The hearing may impact the prosecution’s case as it continues into next week.
