The court hearing for evidence suppression in the case of
Luigi Mangioni, scheduled for Friday, December five, has been postponed
due to his illness, as announced by Judge Gregory Carrow
during the morning session. Mangione, twenty seven, is facing charges
of second degree murder for the alleged shooting of United

(00:24):
Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last December. This week, he and
his legal team have been attempting to have significant evidence
excluded from the state court proceedings. Mangioni was set to
appear in Manhattan Supreme Court for the fourth consecutive day
of hearings, but the judge informed those present around nine
forty five am that Mangioni would not be attending due

(00:48):
to being sick. His attorney, Mark Agnifilo, declined to comment
when asked about the nature of Mangioni's illness. The hearings
are expected to resume on Monday morning, December eighth. Throughout
the past three days, seven witnesses have taken the stand.
Testimonies include prison guards who recounted various discussions with Mangione
during his time in solitary confinement in Pennsylvania. Additionally, police

(01:12):
officers testified about their encounter with him while he was
enjoying a steak, egg and cheese McMuffin from McDonald's. The
court has also reviewed the nine to one one call
place from the McDonald's, as well as police bodycom footage
capturing his arrest and subsequent interrogation.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Player number one, What is the address of your emergency?
It's not really an emergency. I just I'm a manager
at Plain forerd McDonald's out here on the boulevards, okay,
and I have the customer here that some other customers
were suspicious of that he looked like the CEO shooter
from New York. Okay. So they're just really upset and

(01:51):
they're like coming to me, and I was like, well,
I can't approach them, you know, no, of course not Hi, Hi,
what's your name?

Mangioni has remained composed as he viewed the recordings of
his last moments before incarceration, showing minimal emotion while conferring
with his attorneys, jotting down notes and occasionally glancing at
the supporters who have filled the courtroom each day. Mangioni
has entered a plea of not guilty to the state
murder charges being addressed in this week's hearing, as well

(02:19):
as to federal charges that could result in a death
penalty or Crime and Justice News after this. A one
year old girl in Oregon is on the mend after
being attacked by two dogs that escape from a neighbor's
home on Sunday afternoon. Marisa Karen shared with Katu that

(02:42):
she had just came back from church with her daughters
and allowed them to bring their happy meals inside when
the dogs broke free from the neighbor's home. I managed
to push my three year old out of the way
and she hurried up the stairs. But the dogs weren't
really targeting me or my older daughter. They were after
the bay, she recounted. I did my best to fend

(03:02):
off the dog while also pulling my daughter away to
prevent them from getting a proper grip on her. It
all happened in the blink of an eye, said her mother.
In a Go fund Me campaign for the family, the
organizer noted currently she is recovering well after surgery, with
another operation in the near future. According to Katu. The
toddler suffered a skull fracture, lost five inches of skin

(03:25):
from the back of her head, and endured bites on
her face, abdomen and lower back. She has undergone several
surgeries and is receiving care at Randall Children's Hospital in Portland,
where she will require ongoing treatment. Karen mentioned that the
dogs escaped when the neighbor opened their door. One of
the dogs has since been surrendered and euthanized, while the

(03:46):
fate of the second dog is still being evaluated. Karen
expressed her concern, stating she had previously alerted property managers
about the dog's behavior. The last time I reported it,
I specifically told our apartment manager. She said, this dog
is going to escape and either harm a child or
leave them with lifelong scars, she told the manager. She

(04:07):
also mentioned that a witness claimed there had been prior incidents.
Please say there is an ongoing investigation with charges pending.
Karen is also worried about the emotional impact on her
older daughter, revealing to Katu that her three year old
Kinsley will quote carry the effects of this trauma for
a long time. The family's GoFundMe has successfully raised over

(04:29):
five thousand dollars to assist with medical expenses and to
support Karen during her time away from work as she
cares for her recovering daughter. For the latest crime injustice news,
