Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to N.Y. state charges in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO.

⚠️ Luigi Mangione has pleaded not guilty to New York state charges related to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione, who was indicted on multiple counts including first-degree murder, murder as an act of terrorism, and several weapons and forgery charges, entered his plea during an arraignment in Manhattan Supreme Court.

🔹His defense attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, expressed concerns about the publicity of Mangione's court appearances and the potential impact on his right to a fair trial, criticizing what she referred to as "perp walks" orchestrated by law enforcement and the mayor's office. Mangione's case also involves federal charges, including murder and stalking, which could potentially make him eligible for the death penalty if convicted
