Overview
Luigi Mangione's pretrial hearing, where he aims to exclude evidence in the murder case of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was postponed due to his illness.
The hearing, originally scheduled to address the suppression of evidence found during his Pennsylvania arrest, has been rescheduled for Monday.
Mangione's defense seeks to exclude statements made to police before he was informed of his right to remain silent, which could impact his death penalty case.
Mangione, 27, has consistently pleaded not guilty to both state and federal murder charges related to Thompson's shooting death.
He was apprehended at an Altoona McDonald's following a five-day manhunt, where he allegedly used a forged ID, with bodycam footage from his arrest entered as evidence.
