'IMPROPER, WARRANTLESS SEARCH': Judge suppresses major backpack evidence in Luigi Mangione case

Luigi Mangione has secured a partial legal victory ahead of his high-profile murder trial, after a New York judge ruled that key evidence obtained during his arrest cannot be used in court. The court found that police in Pennsylvania conducted an 'improper, warrantless search' of Mangione’s backpack at a McDonald’s during his arrest, leading to the suppression of items including a cellphone, wallet, passport, and computer chip.
