Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.
The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.
But they can pick the bullets out of that CEO guy and match them with bullets shot from the backpack gun.
How would the police in some village have the murder weapon from New York?
When this can be established, it’s more of a technicality during arrest and not planting.
