00:00Report details comments made by Mangione before Pennsylvania court appearance.

00:05Luigi Mangione appeared in Manhattan criminal court on Tuesday for the sixth day of pre-trial

00:10hearings in the high-profile case involving the alleged December 2024 killing of United

00:15Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione, arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, faces multiple state

00:22and federal charges. Current hearings are focused on whether specific pieces of evidence should be

00:27excluded from his upcoming trial. Altoona police officer Stephen Fox testified that Mangione

00:32appeared surprised by the media attention during his Pennsylvania arraignment, allegedly remarking,

00:38all these people are here for a mass murder, wild, as he left the courthouse. The investigation into

00:44Thompson's killing advanced significantly when Mangione was arrested on December 9th, 2024,

00:49after being recognized at a McDonald's in Altoona. A manager called 911 after customers pointed out

00:56that he resembled the suspected shooter. Police quickly responded, and Officer Fox said he became

01:01confident Mangione matched the suspect when he smiled at him. Additional testimony from Officer

01:06Christy Wasser described finding a loaded magazine wrapped in wet underwear inside Mangione's backpack,

01:12along with another magazine allegedly concealed in his clothing. Mangione's defense team argues that

01:17the search of his belongings violated his Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches

01:22and his Fifth Amendment rights regarding due process. They claim the search was conducted without a

01:28warrant, and that Mangione's only statement before being read his Miranda rights was giving a false name.

01:33Prosecutors maintained the search was lawful under exceptions, allowing warrantless searches during or

01:39immediately after an arrest. They argue standard procedures were followed and no constitutional violations occurred.

01:46The court has not yet decided whether the disputed evidence will be admitted. Hearings will continue

01:51next week as both sides present additional arguments. The motive behind Thompson's killing remains

01:57unclear, and Mangione remains in custody as the case progresses.
