"The guard said Mangione told him, without prompting, that he had a 3D-printed pistol in his backpack, which police say they found along with a silencer and journal writings that allegedly implicate him in the killing. A defence lawyer cast doubt on the guard's assertion that Mangione, who wore a grey suit and a white shirt with a red checkered pattern at the hearing before Justice Gregory Carro, volunteered such incriminating information on his own."
"You weren't asking him any questions, you weren't speaking to him at all And out of nowhere, he says to you, I had a 3D-printed pistol'? defence lawyer Marc Agnifilo asked. The guard said he did not ask Mangione any questions and testified during follow-up questioning by a prosecutor that he did not care about the outcome of the case."
Luigi Mangione, 27, is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and faces life in prison if convicted. A prison guard testified that Mangione volunteered he had a 3D-printed pistol in his backpack, and police say they found a silencer and journal writings that purportedly implicate him. Defense attorneys argue the search and questioning were illegal and seek to exclude the gun and writings from evidence. Prosecutors deny the illegal-search claims. The pretrial hearing in New York City before Justice Gregory Carro will decide what evidence prosecutors can use at trial.
