The Luigi Mangione legal saga

One year after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, his alleged shooter, Luigi Mangione, faces charges of first and second degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon, stalking, forgery, and others. 

Mangione has become a folk hero to many online, amid debates over wealth inequality, healthcare affordability, and even content moderation.

His hearings have drawn hundreds of supporters to camp outside courthouses, including some who have sent Mangione letters and gifts. Videos of him coming and going from court appearances regularly garner millions of views, and he has even become the inspiration for fan fictions and Etsy listings. 

The Department of Justice is now seeking the death penalty against Mangione, which his lawyers are attempting to get dismissed.
