Summary
<p>Luigi Mangione's defense team describes his "beautiful, promising life" as "derailed" by the murder charges against him.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>The McDonald's manager is not identified, and the hearing is the first time the 911 call is played in public. </p> <p>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."</p> <p>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."</p> <p>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. </p> <p>Mangione enters the courtroom in shackles, but the judge allows Mangione to sit unshackled and take notes at the defense table. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Angifilo claims conversations with correction officers were illegally coerced and should not be allowed.</p> <p>The defense claims Mangione is questioned for 20 minutes by Altoona Police Officer Joseph Detwiler without being read his Miranda rights. </p> <p>Therefore, prosecutors should not be allowed to introduce any testimony about statements made by Mangione to police.</p> <p>Joining Nancy Grace:</p> <ul></ul> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.rqn.com,">Skye Lazaro</a> - Criminal Defense Attorney - with experience in both federal and state cases, Law Firm: Ray, Quinney & Nebeker; Facebook: SkyeBeth, Instagram: SkyeBeth1</li> <li><a href="http://www.drjudyho.com">Dr. Judy Ho</a> - Clinical and Forensic Neuropsychologist, Author of 'The New Rules of Attachment'; and 'Stop Self-Sabatoge;' IG & X: @drjudyho; FB: doctorjudyho</li> <li><a href="http://AngelaArnoldMD.com">Dr. Angela Arnold</a> - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA.
