See Luigi Mangione Plead Not Guilty In CEO Killing Case

Luigi Mangione has formally spoken on the accusations against him in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The 26-year-old suspect arrived at his arraignment in New York state court on Dec. 23 and pleaded not guilty to murder and related terrorism charges stemming from Thompson’s death. Mangione was escorted into the courtroom in shackles and wore a maroon sweater over a white collared shirt – a similar look to his defense attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, who NBC News reports told the court that she believes Mangione may not get a fair trial in light of his highly-publicized legal appearances. Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Penn., on Dec. 9 after a five-day manhunt following Thompson’s high-profile killing, which authorities have called a “brazen” and “targeted attack.” In addition to Mangione’s state indictment, he is also facing federal charges of murder and stalking, along with a firearm offense, that could bring the death penalty. If convicted in his state case, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole. Mangione’s state arraignment comes days after he landed in Manhattan by helicopter after waiving his extradition from Pennsylvania. His arrival made headlines for the massive police escort surrounding him that included New York City mayor Eric Adams. He is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the same facility where Sean “Diddy” Combs is incarcerated. Mangione’s next court date for his federal case is reportedly expected to come in mid-January.

Take it to a jury trial. Let his peers decide.

[cjn]

Geez even the guy who killed four college students in Idaho, who premeditated their murders didn’t have to show up in court in chains, nor did kolberg have to do a live perp walk! Sickening!

[joenobody]

Someone was burned alive in the subway yesterday.

[ZX-zwge]

Something about him is convincing that he's innocent.

[exploringdimensionsall]

I didn't think he did it for a minute. They're clearly using him as a patsy. A rival healthcare company probably paid someone to do it and then set this poor young guy up. It's disgusting!

[lostar]

Theres something called jury nullification where the jury can disregard the law and find him innocent but since theyre making it seem like that guy maytered theyll probobly take it off the table

[silverman]

I think that imprisoning luigi would be a mistake. He's arguably the second most vital asset to the mushroom kingdom's defenses. Don't get me wrong, Yoshi is an excellent asset against the koopa army, but I just don't think he could rlly replace Luigi...

[KenWesaw]

There's a saying in Texas " did he he need killing ? "

[CareyLaMarca-nl]

If I was a ceo of a multibillion dollar corporation, I’d have better teeth than that.

[morningglory]

FREE LUIGI… the US legal system is such Shit

[gogmaziosfuse]

All that work for a ceo is fucking wild
But at barely scraps for a tax payer

[limeyuk]

I don't condone, but at the same time when people have had enough or feel they have been pushed too far and see the ugly in the system this is the result so maybe just maybe our leaders and CEO's of these companies and corporations should see this as a Wake up call and change their way and start doing what's right for the people instead of just getting rich and powerful off of the people.

[ExploreWashington]

Crazy. I’m getting a check from a conflict of interest in the courts years ago out of no where since this. This dude scared people lol

[AarOnCoasters]

Even if he did ut, this needs to go to trial. The greed needs to hear whats up.

[andrewg]

This guy has all the high accolades for his age, goes on a 3 month hiatus, then turns up on video taking out a CEO. Where was he for three months? What was he doing? MK Ultra?

[blakeley.bmoney]

Why happened to innocent until proven guilty smh

[andrewjones]

FREE LUIGI! and throw Mayor Adams in jail. Our government and justice system is so corrupt. I hope others follow his lead.

[profanepersonality]

Seems like a clear cut case of "Defense of Others", to me. He was clearly protecting thousands of people from imminent danger or harm by stopping the true villain from causing their deaths. 🤷‍♂️

[carolbrownleehalbert]

He wouldn't get a fair trial if they moved the trial to the state of HAWAII!!!

[Totes_ma_Goat]

The one case where most people are kinda like, eh, 5 years should be enough time.
