NEW YORK (AP) — Video played in a New York court shows how police approached, arrested and searched Luigi Mangione at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. Those moments underlie key questions about what evidence can and can’t be used in the case surrounding the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year. Mangione has pleaded not guilty. Altoona, Pennsylvania, officers’ body cameras captured the roughly 20 minutes between police approaching Mangione at the restaurant and telling him he had the right to remain silent. Mangione’s lawyers want to keep his alleged statements to law enforcement out of his eventual trial. The defense also wants to suppress items that authorities said they seized from his backpack. A hearing on their requests continues Thursday and probably into next week.
