Luigi Nicholas Mangione, the man charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, displayed uncooperative behavior during his first court appearance. He shouted unintelligibly and struggled against sheriff's deputies as they led him into the courthouse.
Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a wealthy Maryland family, was arrested at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania after a five-day manhunt. At the time of his arrest, he was carrying a handwritten document expressing anger towards health insurance companies and criticizing corporate greed.
The suspect is currently held in a Pennsylvania jail and is fighting extradition to New York, where the murder took place. His lawyer emphasized that Mangione is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
