Part 4/7:
The evidence linked to the case is both compelling and potentially incriminating. The prosecution alleges that a 3D printed pistol—used in the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson—was discovered among Manion’s possessions. Furthermore, authorities contend that a notebook explaining a motive for the crime, along with a fake ID used by Manion to check into a New York City hostel at the time of the murder, form a part of their case.
If the evidence derived from the illegal search is suppressed, the prosecution’s ability to connect Manion to the crime could be significantly diminished, possibly affecting the case's viability.
