Defense attorneys for 26 year old Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, have filed a motion to suppress evidence, arguing that his rights were violated during his arrest. They claim Mangione was unlawfully detained by Altoona police, who also seized his backpack and personal belongings without cause. However, at least one former NYPD officer has stepped up and defended the police actions, stating they were professional, especially given the serious charges against Mangione, who now awaits trial for Thompson’s planned shooting death in New York City.
