Mangione Seeks to Block Evidence in UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder Case
6 hours ago
Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is asking a New York judge to exclude key evidence ahead of his state trial. During a hearing in Manhattan, Mangione’s attorneys moved to block prosecutors from introducing a handgun they say matches the weapon used in the December 4, 2024, killing. They are also seeking to exclude a handwritten notebook that, according to prosecutors, details his intent to “wack” a health insurance executive.
Court officials say the evidentiary hearings could last more than a week, likely extending through the anniversary of the attack. Mangione — an Ivy League-educated member of a wealthy Maryland family — was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after the shooting. His trial date has not yet been set.
