Mangione may be released due to constitutional violations

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealth CEO, may be released due to alleged violations of his constitutional rights. His defense claims he was unlawfully arrested and not properly informed of his rights before questioning. Mangione was detained at a McDonald's on December 9, 2024, without an arrest warrant. His lawyer argues that police acted on a "hunch" and failed to read him his Miranda rights before interrogating him. The defense is also challenging the inclusion of key evidence, including the firearm linked to the crime. If the court finds his rights were violated, it could weaken the prosecution's case significantly.
