COURTHOUSE,
April 11 – 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, thread:
Judge Parker:
What is the government's
position on bail? AUSA Domenic
Gentile: We are prepared to
argue for detention.
Mangione's lawyer
Karen Friedman Agnifilo: We
consent to detention without
prejudice to make a future
bail application. .
On February 4,
death penalty qualified
(learned) counsel was
appointed for Mangione in
SDNY, endorsed letter on

On April 1 DOJ
announced it will seek the
death penalty against
Mangione. But will they try to
take over the case from NYS,
where he does not face death?

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