Luigi Mangione Pleads Not Guilty in an NYC Court to Charges He Killed UnitedHealthcare CEO

Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, made his way to a New York courtroom Monday where he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

“As you can see he has cleaned up quite a bit,” said Fox News anchor Julie Banderas — commenting in real time on footage of Mangione walking into court. “When I look at this guy walk through and when he actually got brought to New York City and got a haircut and free beard. It makes me sick how prisoners are treated better than some of our homeless people here in the city, speaking of deranged individuals.”

“They always clean them up for court,” added former New York Police Inspector Paul Mauro. “The story here is the federal case because the state case was all teed up. The feds, without telling anybody, dropped their indictment and then made a big deal, ‘We got the death penalty in it and walked away from it and said state, you can take the lead.’ What was the point? It was a flex. No point to do it. They gave it back to Bragg’s office. I’ve never seen anything like that.”

According to CNN, “The 26-year-old faces 11 counts in New York, including one of murder in the first degree and two of murder in the second degree, along with other weapon and forgery charges, according to the indictment.”
