Luigi Mangione, 26, has become somewhat of a celebrity since being charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot in Manhattan on December 4, 2024.
Mangione faces both state and federal charges, including first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism, which could lead to life imprisonment without parole, and federal charges that may result in the death penalty.
On December 23, 2024, Mangione pleaded not guilty to 11 state charges in Manhattan Supreme Court. His attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, expressed concerns about the fairness of the trial, citing extensive media coverage and public statements by officials that could prejudice potential jurors.
