The court examined police body camera footage showing Luigi Mangione's arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald's, central to determining what evidence can be used in the high-profile murder case of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Defense attorneys are challenging the admissibility of statements made before Miranda rights were read and items seized from Mangione's backpack without a warrant, including an alleged murder weapon and incriminating notebook. The 27-year-old Ivy League graduate faces both state and federal charges, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty in the federal case.
