SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 23 – 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, Lone Wolf.
On December 23 Mangione was bought shackled into state court for arraignment, in a red sweater and white shirt just like his lawyer. Inner City Press live tweeted it, last step toward Lone Wolf Book 1. From thread:
Mangione's lawyer: He is being treated like political fodder. It was the biggest perp walk I've ever seen. What was the NYC Mayor doing there? These staged perp walks are unconstitutional
Mangione's lawyer: The Mayor should know about due process, given his own problems. I think he was there to try to take away from those issues. He wanted to show symbolism. But my client is not a symbol
Judge Carro: I have very little control of what happens outside these doors. We will carefully select the jury. But yes, expedite discovery.
Next state date is February 21. Lone Wolf coming
