A federal judge on Monday changed her mind and decided there should be a hearing to determine whether Luigi Mangione\u2019<\/a>s backpack was lawfully seized and searched during his arrest in Altoona, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Judge Margaret Garnett said she considered “both the arguments made by counsel” during a hearing on Friday and “the seriousness of the charges the Defendant is facing” in deciding to hold the evidentiary hearing after previously saying a hearing was unnecessary.<\/p>\n

The brief hearing should include testimony from an Altoona police officer about the department\u2019s procedures for securing, safeguarding and inventorying the personal property of a person arrested in a public place, the judge said.\u00a0She noted that the witness did not need to be one of the dozen officers involved in Mangione\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

Several Altoona officers testified during a three-week hearing in state court where Mangione is seeking to exclude evidence police seized from his backpack, including the alleged murder weapon, a notebook and writings.<\/p>\n

Defense attorneys are also trying to eliminate those items from the federal case, which could result in a possible death sentence if Mangione is convicted.\u00a0He has pleaded not guilty in both courts.<\/p>\n

Mangione is accused of\u00a0stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson on a New York City sidewalk in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
