Luigi Mangione’s attorneys allege Manhattan prosecutors wrongly obtained the medical records from the insurance carrier of the suspect in the shooting death of the UnitedHealthcare CEO in December. In a court filing Thursday in the New York case, the defense said prosecutors violated HIPAA, which is the federal law that protects medical privacy, when Aetna was pressured to hand them over without a court order or Mangione’s consent. “There is no question that the District Attorney has no right to possess or review these documents,” the filing said. |
