A ‘Law and Order: SVU’ writer spoke out about the similarities between her episode from 22 years ago and Luigi Mangione's arrest
If the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — and suspect Luigi Mangione's alleged involvement — sounds familiar, that is because Law & Order: SVU released an episode featuring a similar story line more than 20 years ago.
Mangione, 26, meanwhile, is suspected of shooting and killing Thompson outside an entrance to the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel in New York City earlier this month. After a five-day search, Mangione was arrested in Pennsylvania on Monday, December 9, while he was eating at McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
'Noah and I exchanged texts. We just both recognized right away that there were parallels,' Battles told Vanity Fair in an interview published on Wednesday, December 11. She continued: 'And this is a man who had paid all his premiums his whole life. So that stuck with me. Fortunately he was able to afford it, but there were tens of millions of people out there in the same situation who couldn't.'
