If his arrest and search were unlawful, then all evidence obtained from it is inadmissible in court. If they did not read him his Miranda rights, that could be enough by itself to basically throw everything out.
I think that's what happened, and that's why the NYPD and other officials have been doing the rounds on the media talking about shit before even providing evidence to the defense team as required. They know the evidence won't be usable in court and they're trying to taint the jury pool with that info ahead of time before they have to admit that they fucked up so badly they couldn't even do the most basic part of their job required for EVERY arrest, by anyone, anywhere in the country.
Slight correction. If that arrest and search were the only means to get that evidence, then it is thrown out. If there were other legal means they could have gotten that evidence, it becomes admissible again. Cops can illegally arrest and search you. Then if they are able to show at a later point a legal route that would have caused a legal arrest and search. It's fine.
But we know that's not the case. Nancy Parker, the woman who called the police to notify them of Luigi's whereabouts, specifically said that he looked suspicious and may be the person the police were looking for. That's a completely legitimate arrest regardless of any other factors. Because she positively identified him as a person of interest in an ongoing homicide investigation, the police had the right to detain him, and search him for as long as it takes to positively identify him--which is what led to his eventual arrest. His manifesto and gun could all be legally confiscated (because the search was legitimate) and at this point his rights have not been violated, so the evidence collected cannot be thrown out on the premise of the exclusionary rule even if his rights were indeed violated at a later time/date.
Because this is still supposed to be a nation of laws where we don't murder you for reporting a murderer. A nation where someone can be openly killed and people must live in fear of saying anything would be manifestly unjust and might not be unjust in just the dimention you Imagine
