Gregory Carro

Judge Gregory Carro is a legal figure currently in the news for his role in the state murder trial of Luigi Mangione. Mangione is accused in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Judge Carro recently made a ruling regarding the admissibility of evidence found in Mangione's backpack following his arrest. Specifically, on May 18th, he decided that a gun and writings (likely a notebook) would be allowed as evidence in the trial. However, he also ruled that other items, including a magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet, and computer chip, must be suppressed and cannot be presented to the jury. This decision is significant as it shapes the evidence prosecutors can use to build their case against Mangione in this high-profile murder trial.
