Luigi Mangione is back in court this week for critical pre-trial hearings that will determine what evidence can be used in his upcoming trial. His defense team is working to suppress key materials, including statements he allegedly made during his arrest and evidence recovered from his backpack. Mangione is accused of the 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a case that has drawn national attention.

FOX News Contributor and criminal defense attorney Donna Rotunno breaks down what these hearings could mean for the trial ahead.
