Luigi Mangione, 27 years old, appeared before the court in New York, contesting the evidence gathered against him in the case of the murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, the largest health insurer in the U.S. Mangione, accused of murder, claims that his rights were not respected at the time of his arrest. Thompson was fatally shot in December 2024, and Mangione was caught a few days after the crime, having a silenced pistol and a notebook with grievances against the health insurance system.
Mangione's lawyers challenge the legality of the evidence, stating that the police did not obtain a search warrant for his backpack and that his statements were not recorded correctly. The Manhattan court heard several police officers involved in the arrest, while Mangione's supporters gathered outside the court, wearing green clothes, symbolizing mobilization for his case.
