Either Reuters they changed the title, or this was editorialized? Some was tossed, but not all.

Current Title: Judge denies accused CEO killer Mangione's bid to toss gun, notebook evidence

Carro suppressed some evidence found in Mangione's backpack during his arrest in Pennsylvania, ruling police unlawfully searched the bag without a warrant. That evidence included a loaded handgun magazine, cell phone and computer chip.

The judge nevertheless approved a second search of the backpack at a ​police station, and said items recovered there are admissible. Those items included a gun that prosecutors say matches the murder weapon and the ​notebook with writings about wanting to "wack" an insurance executive.

    God imagine how much time it must save judges when the police do an illegal search first every time and only ask for a warrant after they know without a doubt it will get evidence.
