Bodycam arrest video, alleged 'manifesto' take center stage in Luigi Mangione's hearing
Share this @internewscast.com

NEW YORK — Over the past several days, prosecutors have laid out an extensive collection of evidence obtained during the arrest of Luigi Mangione last year, which includes items found in his backpack and on his person.

On Thursday morning, defense attorneys will continue their efforts to prevent this evidence from being used in the upcoming trial.

In a session held on Tuesday, prosecutors presented what they referred to as a “manifesto” along with other writings that they claim link Mangione to the murder of Brian Thompson. Among the evidence was a hand-drawn map, labeled as an “escape route,” highlighting seven cities in the Midwest.

The jury was also shown body camera footage from the first two police officers who responded to the 911 call. Officer Steven Fox, one of those officers, testified in court, describing how he read Mangione his Miranda rights, handcuffed him, and conducted a search of his backpack, as captured in the video.

“Hey sir, how you doing? Can you pull your mask down for me? Appreciate it. Thank you,” Officer Fox is heard saying in the footage.

“Hey sir, how you doing? Can you pull your mask down for me? Appreciate it. Thank you,” you hear on the video.

Then the conversation moves along to: “What’s your name? Mark. Mark what? Rosario. Someone called. They thought you were suspicious. Oh, I’m sorry. Do you have your ID on you?”

While prosecutors argue the arrest was by the book, defense attorneys claim the interaction violated constitutional rights. They criticize Officer Fox’s Miranda warning and argue Mangione’s belongings were searched without a warrant when he was arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, five days after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Officer Fox testified that a warrant was not required. Meanwhile, both sides are dissecting the bodycam footage frame by frame, laser-focused on what happened during the arrest a year ago.

A judge will continue hearing testimony and reviewing evidence Thursday before making a ruling.
