Luigi Mangione back in court on Monday for pre-trial hearing on evidence in case
34+ min ago (325+ words) NEW YORK -- Luigi Mangione is due back in court on Monday for pivotal hearings about evidence that can be used in his case. Last week, attorneys for Mangione asked a judge to limit how some of the evidence is discussed when the parties convene for a pre-trial hearing, to prevent the hearing from turning "into a public mini trial" that could prejudice the accused killer. Judge Gregory Carro has set aside several days beginning Monday to hear arguments over whether certain evidence should be suppressed.

According to Dr. Don Hershman, they are qualities that a surgeon must possess. He would seemingly know, because he is both of those things.

When you are beginning a surgery, it's the beginning of an adventure. It's a creative energy that not many people have the experience of talking about, because surgeons are surgeons and artists are artists. Not many people do both," Hershman said. "People adjust their language to fit in. I can only speak for my experience as a gay man going through medical school having to code-switch. Back in the day,…...
