3D Printed Gun, Illegal Search: Man's Defense in Murder Trial
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
In a shocking turn of events, a man accused of murdering a UnitedHealthcare executive claimed to have a 3D printed gun in his backpack. Luigi Mangione, 27, was arrested for the alleged shooting of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Mangiones statements and items found in his backpack are key evidence, but his defense argues they should be inadmissible due to an alleged illegal search and lack of Miranda rights. Prosecutors deny these claims. A prison guard testified that Mangione mentioned the 3D printed pistol, and police found it along with a silencer and journal entries. The defense questions the guards account, suggesting Mangione was questioned without being advised of his rights. Surveillance footage shows police speaking with Mangione for over 30 minutes before his arrest. If convicted of murder in the second degree, Mangione could face life in prison. He also faces weapon and false identification charges, with trial dates yet to be set.
