The young man Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to the eleven charges against him in Manhattan state court on Monday. (New York), including those of murder and terrorism, for the crime against the chief executive officer (CEO) of the medical insurer UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, on December 4.
Mangione’s defense, the lawyer couple formed by Karen Friedman Agnifilo and Marc Agnifilo, assured the judge in charge Gregory Carro that they are concerned that your client does not get a “fair trial” and? is being treated so far like “a human ping-pong ball” and as “political waste” in a case that the authorities are “taking advantage of.”
Judge Carro responded to them during the session that will strive to “select a balanced jury”but that he has no “control of what happens behind closed doors of the court”, alluding to the enormous media impact of the case.
