Judge admits Mangione evidence

A New York judge has ruled that a gun and a notebook found in Luigi Mangione's backpack can be used as evidence in his upcoming murder trial.

However, the judge granted a defense motion to suppress other items, including a cell phone and passport, citing an unlawful initial search.

Mangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a targeted shooting that shocked the corporate world.

The ruling is seen as a partial victory for the defense, though prosecutors maintain the remaining evidence is sufficient for a conviction.
