A New York judge ruled that a 3D‑printed gun and a notebook recovered from Luigi Mangione’s backpack can be admitted as evidence in his state trial for the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, while suppressing other items such as a gun magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip that were found during an “improper warrantless” search of the bag after Mangione’s arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Prosecutors argue the search was lawful and standard procedure, whereas Mangione’s lawyers contend the backpack was not within his immediate reach and should have required a warrant. The decision aligns with a prior federal ruling that allowed the backpack evidence, and it comes as both federal and state trials are scheduled later this year—state trial dates pushed from June 8 to September 8 and federal jury selection set for October 5. Legal analysts note the gun and notebook are the strongest evidence of motive, and the defense’s workload is heightened by their representation of former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in a separate high‑profile case.
