Mangione's defense presses to suppress backpack evidence in the New York trial as motions advance.
Prosecutors say the bag search yielded the murder weapon and a manifesto and was properly conducted.
Mangione faces state charges in the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting, with federal rulings affecting both cases.
