Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro said that because his backpack was not sufficiently in Mangione's control when Altoona police were detaining him, "the evidence found during the search of the backpack at the McDonald's must be suppressed, including the [loaded ammunition] magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip."

Free Luigi!

The key piece of evidence, the gun used to kill Brian Thompson, CAN be used as evidence.

Some evidence found in Luigi Mangione’s backpack at the time of his arrest will be excluded from his upcoming trial, a New York judge ruled Monday, though other key items – including a 3D-printed gun and writings expressing frustration with the healthcare industry – will be allowed.

Although some of Mangione’s belongings were tossed from the case, the mixed ruling is largely a victory for prosecutors, who will be able to show jurors the so-called “manifesto” and the firearm they say was used to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

It was a terrible decision by a NY court to apply NY law (which has a narrower scope to the inevitable discovery exception) to a search conducted by Pennsylvania police within Pennsylvania.

On the bright side, the federal court decided to allow all of the evidence to be admitted in the federal trial. If convicted (federal prosecutors rarely lose a case), he will rot in federal prison for a very long time.

 The gun and notebook were the gold nuggets in that mine. The other stuff is far less-important to the case. So conviction looks likely despite the finding of partial, apparently - inadvertent procedural violations by the LEOs. That's probably one reason the judge threw them out, because if he didn't, it would come up in appeal later and easily wreck any guilty verdict. Appeals courts tend to be sticklers for procedural discipline, especially in capital murder cases.
And after Luigi is (hopefully) convicted on state charges, the federal trial is looming. He will never see the light of day again.

Luigi is reported to be fairly bright. He couldn't think of any other lawful way to make his point (whatever that may be)? What a waste. Spend life in prison for murdering a father, husband and son and reflect upon his very poor choices.

Too bad the death penalty was ruled out on the federal charges. If not, Bozo would've gladly volunteered to serve on the firing squad.
