NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 16: Luigi Mangione talks to a photographer as he appears for a suppression of evidence hearing in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan Criminal Court on December 16, 2025 in New York City. Mangione's lawyers will argue to have the evidence thrown out because police officers allegedly did not read Mangione his Miranda rights and did not have a proper warrant when they searched his backpack at a Pennsylvania McDonald's last December. He is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and faces state and federal murder charges. (Photo by Seth Wenig-Pool/Getty Images)
