Summary

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, is fighting extradition from Pennsylvania to New York.

Arrested Monday with evidence linking him to the crime, Mangione faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder and gun violations.

At his hearing, he shouted accusations of injustice and was denied bail.

His lawyer plans to challenge the detention and has stated Mangione will plead not guilty.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul intends to issue a warrant for extradition, while Pennsylvania prosecutors prioritize transferring Mangione for trial in New York.

    I, for one, don’t think he did it.

      The initial pictures of the suspect from CCTV cameras doesn’t match a single picture of Luigi taken after being arrested. Different nose. Different brow line. Different eyebrows. Different eyes… So no, I don’t think he did it either. Dude’s being set up as a patsy.

        Seriously.

        All we have are a few grainy-ass photos and a giant fucking “trust me bro” from the cops.

          I said something about it somewhere else… while I try not to get my hopes up about things, is there possibility of an imposter thats been thoroughly looked into? Many past high profile crimes have had people eager to turn themselves in for it. This is pretty high profile.

        Why does he talk about injustice for the country rather than… Y’know, saying they got the wrong guy? The killer was hot, rich, and hated the Healthcare system. They just happened to dig up another hot rich dude that hated ceos and framed him?

          Seems highly plausible. It also wouldn’t be hard for them to do.

            One that’s willing to take the fall for something he didn’t do? This is failing occams razor hard.

              Who said he’s willing to take the fall? He pled not guilty.

                Railing about the people is not the same as “I am literally not that guy.”

        It does seem like they just found a bunch of pics of random guys with a hood and jacket along with some with a mask added to make them all seem linked.

    Good on him. If you’re guilty, waste their fucking time. Make it unprofitable to deal with you. Become ungovernable.
