One year after the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the court is now weighing whether police violated alleged gunman Luigi Mangione’s Miranda rights.
One year after the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the court is now weighing whether police violated alleged gunman Luigi Mangione’s Miranda rights.
The court can’t declare a mistrial at this stage because a trial hasn’t started yet.
The court can’t dismiss the charges for a Miranda or 4th amendment violations, because dismissal is not the legal remedy for those violations.
The legal remedy is to suppress the tainted evidence. This can often lead to a posture where the charges are still pending, but the prosecution no longer has any good evidence to present.
