As Luigi Mangione Arraigned for Killing UnitedHealth CEO He Wants SDNY Case First

by Matthew Russell Lee, Substack Book Patreon

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 25 – Luigi Mangione was presented in Federal court on December 19 on four charges, one of them death penalty eligible, for the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. Inner City Press was there, covering the case toward a book.

On February 4, death penalty qualified (learned) counsel was appointed for Mangione in SDNY, endorsed letter on Patreon here

On April 1 DOJ announced it will seek the death penalty against Mangione.

  In the interim, after some push back, Inner City Press published a book Luigi Mangione Lone Wolf here, audiobook here.

On April 15 the US responded to Mangione's anti-death penalty filing with a ripeness argument: "The defendant has identified no authority for the notion that it can prevent the Government from seeking capital punishment before indictment." Full filing on Patreon here

On April 17, Inner City Press vlogged in the morning to expect something - and past 5 pm the SDNY prosecutors docketed an indictment of Mangione, with "Special Findings Regarding the Murder of Brian Thompson" - here.

On April 24 the US filed "NOTICE OF INTENT TO SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY" - here.

On April 25 Inner City Press live tweeted the arraignment, including Karen Friedman Agnifilo saying the defense will move to have the Federal case go first - and that a telephone call between her and Mangione was inappropriately monitored. Thread.

The Federal case is US v. Mangione, 1:25-cr-176 (Garnett)
