Alleged gunman faces nine charges including second-degree murder in New York state case
Luigi Mangione is due to appear in Manhattan state court on Monday for the first day of a potentially weeklong proceeding to weigh the legality of evidence gathered during his arrest after the killing of a prominent healthcare executive.
Mangione was apprehended last December in the murder of senior United HealthCare figure Brian Thompson last December. In addition to state-level charges, he faces a Manhattan federal court case.
Thompson’s brutal slaying on the streets of New York city triggered an intense manhunt for the killer, but also sparked an outpouring of anger at the practices of the US for-profit healthcare industry. Since his arrest Mangione has attracted some enthusiastic supporters, both online and at his court appearances.
NYC is covered with cell snoopers…
Very very accurate snoopers, if he had a cell phone they’d have done that quickly without a warrant. And once they had his number from that, they could track him anywhere.
It’s also one of the highest camera densities in the world, if there wasn’t a phone then they likely tapped into every camera and ran facial recognition, again without a warrant.
But that’s just the stuff we know about. A CEO was shot on the street, that’s too close for the oligarchs so I wouldn’t be surprised if they got the government to use the top secret shit that’s supposed to just be for terrorists. Stuff we couldn’t even think of, but might hear about a decade from now once it’s no longer state of the art.
