Mangione's NYC Murder Trial Heads Toward Jury Selection in High-Profile Showdown

Less than a month before Luigi Mangione's murder trial in Manhattan, he returns to court as jury selection looms; prosecutors present surveillance, ballistics, and writings as key evidence, while his defense seeks to exclude items from a Pennsylvania arrest and weighs an extreme emotional disturbance defense, with no full alternative theory yet. The case faces ongoing questions about media access, courtroom procedures, and whether the high-profile proceedings will become a public spectacle.

Judge allows pivotal Tupac murder interview to be heard at trial

A Nevada judge ruled that a 2008 police interview with Duane “Keffe D” Davis is admissible at the Tupac Shakur murder trial, a decision prosecutors say could be pivotal as the four-week case begins in August; Davis faces life without parole if convicted for the 1996 Las Vegas drive-by, and the interview has long been cited as a central piece of evidence in the case.

Widow pushes for full public display of exhibits in Charlie Kirk killing case

Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, asked a Utah judge to allow the open courtroom display of all exhibits tied to her husband’s killing, arguing that transparency is needed to curb conspiracy theories as the preliminary hearing weighs whether there is enough evidence to move forward with the case against Tyler Robinson. The filing highlights disputes over video edits, DNA handling and chain of custody, and a roommate interview and note that prosecutors say suggest a confession; the judge has not ruled on admissibility as the hearing continues.

Dermatologists Say Collagen Supplements Are Modest Helpers, Not a Skin Miracle

Dermatologists Say Collagen Supplements Are Modest Helpers, Not a Skin Miracle

Five dermatologists say collagen supplements aren’t a miracle cure for skin: while some evidence hints at skin-health benefits and joint support, oral collagen may not directly deposit collagen in the skin, and results are generally modest at best. Benefits depend on consistent use and individual biology, and supplements should complement—not replace—a solid skincare routine, SPF, and a healthy diet. Choose well‑formulated brands and be mindful of additions like biotin and animal-sourced ingredients, especially if you have vegan or thyroid considerations.

Judge Allows Gun and Notebook as Evidence in Mangione State Murder Case

A New York judge ruled that a gun and notebook recovered from Luigi Mangione’s backpack can be used as evidence in his state murder case over UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s death, while other backpack items like a 3D-printed gun and silencer are suppressed due to an improper warrantless search. The state trial is now scheduled for Sept. 8, with Mangione facing both state and federal charges; prosecutors say the searches were lawful, while the defense argued they were not. The notebook and gun are viewed as key evidence and potential motive.

Evidence Wins: Gun and Notebook Admitted in Mangione Murder Trial

A New York judge ruled prosecutors can use a gun and a notebook described as a manifesto as evidence in Luigi Mangione’s murder case against Brian Thompson, while excluding other items from an initial warrantless McDonald’s arrest search; a later backpack search at Altoona police headquarters was deemed valid. Mangione, 28, faces nine state felonies including second-degree murder and a separate federal stalking case, with the state trial tentatively scheduled for September and the federal trial later in the fall.

Manhattan judge suppresses backpack-search evidence in Mangione murder case

A Manhattan judge ruled that evidence seized from Luigi Mangione’s backpack at a McDonald’s must be suppressed as an improper warrantless search, while evidence found later at the police station, including the alleged murder weapon, is admissible; Mangione’s notebook may still be admitted since it was not opened or searched at the McDonald’s. The defendant, accused of killing Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel, faces state and federal charges, with the state case having two top-murder counts tossed earlier this year but nine counts including second-degree murder remaining; a federal trial is scheduled for January 2027. He has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
