We start tonight with the latest in the case of Luigi Mangione. Since his Monday Morning arrest, there have been many unanswered questions, new developments, and lots of speculation.
Baylee Wojcik walks us through a timeline of what we know about the situation since Mangione’s arrest.
Before he was arrested at the McDonald’s in Altoona on Monday, Luigi Mangione traveled to the area on a Greyhound bus and walked into the Horseshoe Curve Lodge looking for a room, according to ABC News who spoke with the desk
clerk who greeted him. The clerk explained that the hotel did not have a clean room at that hour, and mangione left.
“He basically just walked in kind of cagey, just looking around, making sure he wasn’t being watched, asked if he could get a room here.”
At around 9:15 that morning, Mangione was spotted at the McDonalds, where an employee called the Altoona Police after a customer recognized Mangione from crime scene images.
Investigators say after providing two officers with a fake id, Mangione was arrested on forgery charges. From there, Mangione was transported to the Altoona Police Department.
New York Police Department and FBI Officials soon traveled to the area. Aside from the fake id, a 3d printed ghost gun and silencer were also found on Mangione’s person.
He was then charged with two felonies and three misdemeanors in Pennsylvania. Later that night, the city of New York filed second degree murder charges against Mangione.
By Tuesday Afternoon, it was revealed that Altoona Attorney Thomas Dickey would be representing Mangione in court. Mangione was seen screaming at the media on his way into the Blair County Courthouse for his extradition hearing that day.
Dickey represented Mangione at that hearing, where Mangione’s transfer to New York was contested and his bail was denied.
At a news conference that evening, Dickey revealed that Mangione had plead not guilty to the charges out of Pennsylvania.
Dickey also said Tuesday Night that he expects Mangione to plead not guilty to murder charges out of New York, citing a lack of evidence pointing him toward the crime.
“This is not just a small thing, the fundamental concept of American justice is the presumption of innocent and until you’re proving guilty, be on reasonable doubt.
And I’ve seen zero evidence at this point.”
