The judge's ruling Monday partially rejects a defense argument that those items were seized illegally, before a search warrant was obtained. It's a major win for prosecutors, enabling them to show the jury a possible murder weapon and evidence they say points to motive. But the judge also ruled that other evidence found during an initial search of Mangione's backpack must be suppressed. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges.
