Officer testifies about finding gun in Mangione’s bag

During a pretrial hearing, body camera footage revealed a supervising police officer questioning the legality of searching accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione’s backpack without a warrant in Pennsylvania. Despite being arrested for forgery, police searched Mangione’s bag, finding items like a loaded magazine and writings that prosecutors claim are a confession. Defense attorneys argue the search violated Mangione’s rights and was not justified by concerns of a bomb, seeking to exclude evidence found in the bag from trial. The officer’s actions and motives are under scrutiny as the defense aims to cast doubt on the search’s legality and the evidence obtained.
