6,000 LETTERS, THOUSANDS IN DONATIONS, BILLBOARDS RENTED, LUIGI MANGIONE FANS WONT STOP

Luigi Mangione's legal team created a website for the accused killer, they say “due to the extraordinary volume of inquiries and outpouring of support.

His attorneys say the website — luigimangioneinfo.com — was created to ”share case updates, “dispel information” and publish letters from Mangione while he’s incarcerated.

He writes “I am overwhelmed by — and grateful for — everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support.” That support include thousands donations for his legal fees.

Luigi Mangione's defense team describes his "beautiful, promising life" as "derailed" by the murder charges against him.

This phrasing is not highlighted as a saying from Mangione's groupies, but as a phrase coming from Mangione's attorney as part of a legal motion filed to dismiss the federal case or get the death penalty tossed.

As part of an evidence suppression hearing in the upcoming trial of Luigi Mangione, prosecutors play a 911 call placed by the manager of a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

The McDonald's manager is not identified, and the hearing is the first time the 911 call is played in public.

The manager is apologetic as she tells the 911 operator she tried the non-emergency line first and continues taking orders as she tells the operator, "I have a customer here some other customers were suspicious of because he looks like the CEO shooter in New York.

"And they're just really upset and come to me, and I'm like, I can't approach him."

The 911 operator, Emily States, testifies and is heard asking for a description of the individual, with the manager replying,"The only thing you can see is the eyebrows."

Mangione's defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, objects to the 911 call being played, but the judge says he is allowing the call for this hearing.

Mangione enters the courtroom in shackles, but the judge allows Mangione to sit unshackled and take notes at the defense table.

Long lines outside the courthouse filled with women and men supporters trying to enter the hearing, hoping to get a glimpse of the alleged CEO murderer.

Mangione's defense team is trying to prevent several key pieces of evidence from being allowed at trial, like the comment about the 3-D printed pistol.

Angifilo claims conversations with correction officers were illegally coerced and should not be allowed.

The defense claims Mangione is questioned for 20 minutes by Altoona Police Officer Joseph Detwiler without being read his Miranda rights.

Therefore, prosecutors should not be allowed to introduce any testimony about statements made by Mangione to police.

United States District Judge Margaret Garnett says she will rule on the defense’s request to drop death penalty charges and the exclusions at a later hearing.

If the murder charge remains, Garnett a trial could start in late December or early January 2027. If charges dropped, Mangione's trial might begin this October.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Mangione’s next hearing date for Jan. 30.
