Summary

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has asked his supporters to limit the number of photos they send him to 5 at a time due to overwhelming volume and screening delays.

Charged with murder, he has pleaded not guilty. Mangione’s case sparked debate about healthcare, with supporters sending fan mail and donations.

His legal defense fund has raised over $615,000. He expressed gratitude for the letters, acknowledging support across “political, racial, and even class divisions.”

Mangione also faces federal and Pennsylvania charges. His attorney argues he’s being treated differently, held in federal custody.

    It’ll be interesting to see if they are able to put the CEO on trial here, like they do with rape victims. Was the CEO dressed slutty complicit in the deaths of others? Did the CEO entice him by dancing sexy leading the industry in denying rightful claims? Did the CEO agree to have sex with him pay peoples’ medical bills and then reneg at the last second?

    This could be a very interesting trial.

      I agree it would be very interesting of they put the corpse of the CEO on the stand and asked those questions.
