Dec. 11 (UPI) -- The evidence suppression hearing continues on day six of testimony in the case against Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as more police testify about his arrest.
Mangione, 27, allegedly shot and killed Thompson in December 2024 in Manhattan as Thompson, 50, was heading to an investors' meeting. He was arrested five days later in an Altoona, Pa., McDonald's. He also faces federal charges, for which he could get the death penalty.
Mangione's lawyers are trying to get evidence seized by police in Pennsylvania suppressed so that it can't be used in trial. They allege that the evidence was seized without a warrant and things that Mangione said are inadmissible because he was read his Miranda rights too late.
The highest-ranking officer who was at the McDonald's, Lt. William Hanelly, testified that he called New York's 911 to report that he was heading to the restaurant "so we could get the ball rolling."
