After a five-day manhunt, Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He faces state charges in Pennsylvania for allegedly carrying an unlicensed firearm, forgery, and providing false identification.

And if they located him via illegal means, none of that is admissable...

That's the chink they need to hammer on.

The woman who "called it in" did so because some random man walked up to the counter, identified Luigi to the worker, told her there was a large reward and she should call.

The chances of that truly being a random person who recognized him, and wanted him turned in, but didn't want to make the call themselves is astronomical.

And that's not getting into how unbelievable fast the response was.

Whatever means they actually used to locate him, they can't say. So you hammer their unbelievable explanation and ask the jury if they believe it, or if it sounds like a cover story.

It blows a giant hole in the prosecution's case, and raises doubts about the entire investigation

McDonalds will probably reward that worker with a free drink and a McDouble. No raise. Extra hours.
