Luigi Mangione entered a not guilty plea in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO, while his attorney argues that public statements by New York Mayor Eric Adams could impact his right to a fair trial.
Luigi Mangione, 26, pleaded not guilty on Monday to state murder and terror charges in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO. His attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, argued that statements from New York Mayor Eric Adams could jeopardize Mangione's right to a fair trial . Mangione was charged last week with multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism, in a state case running parallel to federal prosecution.
Federal charges could carry the death penalty, while the maximum sentence for state charges is life in prison without parole. Prosecutors plan to proceed on parallel tracks, with the state case expected to go to trial first. Agnifilo expressed concern about her client's right to a fair trial, stating that government officials have turned Mangione into a political pawn. She also criticized federal and state prosecutors for advancing conflicting legal theories, calling their approach confusing and unusual
