    I see on the website that they have the address you can write to him in prison. I bet he is receiving a ton of mail...especially from women. On one of the Reddit pages I follow, women (and possibly men) are swooning over him.

    The MAGA AG is carrying out the orange one's directives.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered Department of Justice prosecutors to seek the death penalty in the case against Luigi Mangione.

    “Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompso, an innocent man and father of two young children, was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” Bondi said.

    “After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again,” the attorney general said.

    They are scared of his actions gaining traction. They want to suppress any idea of rebellion.

    Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a federal court to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him, arguing that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently announced decision to do so was “explicitly and unapologetically political.”

    Mr. Mangione’s lawyers argued that Ms. Bondi’s real motive in making the announcement was to garner press attention, noting that she discussed her decision in a “Fox News Sunday” interview and “publicly released her order so she would have ‘content’ for her newly launched Instagram account.”

    They said she had also violated Justice Department protocols to ensure such decisions are made fairly and consistently.
    These protocols include letting defense lawyers make detailed written and oral presentations to a U.S. attorney’s office and Justice Department officials in Washington. A department committee generally issues a recommendation to the attorney general, who makes the final decision.

    The lawyers said the Trump Justice Department ignored their request to take three months to investigate and prepare a thorough argument against the death penalty. The lawyers had been able to make written and oral presentations to the government only in January, in the waning days of the Biden administration.

    “These are not normal times,” Mr. Mangione’s lawyers wrote.

    They can try for the death penalty, but I dont think he's going to get it.

    Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to federal stalking and murder charges on Friday in connection with the Dec. 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

    If convicted, Mangione could be sentenced to death.

    Last week, a federal grand jury indicted Mangione on four charges, including two counts of stalking, one count of murder through use of a firearm and a firearms offense for an allegation that he used a silencer.

    A federal judge on Friday warned US Attorney General Pam Bondi to moderate her public statements about Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, to safeguard Mangione’s right to a fair trial.

    Mangione, 26, pleaded not guilty during his arraignment in Manhattan federal court to charges that could bring the death penalty. Judge Margaret Garnett emphasised the need to "depoliticise the circuslike atmosphere" surrounding the case. "I want prosecutors to convey my caution against public commentary to the interim US attorney, Jay Clayton, and that he pass on the message to Bondi and any of her subordinates at Main Justice,"
    Further complicating matters, Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, raised concerns in court that jail staff inadvertently recorded his phone calls with his legal team and shared them with the US attorney's office. Judge Garnett ordered the government to investigate and report back by May 2.

    Based on what I have read, I think they have a pretty strong chance of getting the backpack search and gun thrown out.

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/us/lu...rch/index.html


    A lawyer for Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO last year, is attempting to throw out evidence taken from his backpack and other belongings collected during his arrest, arguing he was illegally stopped and searched by police.

    In a motion filed last week in a Pennsylvania court, Mangione’s lawyer Thomas Dickey said he seeks to toss more than two dozen items, including a 3D-printed gun, a fake driver’s license, and a notebook collected by police when Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s restaurant in Altoona following an intense manhunt.

    The filing reveals for the first time specific details of local police’s confrontation and arrest of Mangione and a detailed list of the materials found in his backpack.
    Dickey argues in his motion that Altoona police illegally searched Mangione’s backpack and took other items without a search warrant. Altoona police officers approached Mangione when we has sitting at a table in McDonald’s saying he “looked suspicious” and had stayed too long inside the restaurant. The attorney said the officers then frisked Mangione, took his backpack and other items, and blocked him from leaving the McDonald’s.

    Mangione was questioned by officers, was not read his Miranda rights or “given any information as to why he was being held,” for more than 15 minutes, Dickey wrote.

    Later, Mangione was asked his name and read his Miranda rights, the attorney said. Police then arrested Mangione.

    The motion provides a detailed list of other materials found in Mangione’s backpack or in his possession. Those items include a suspected 3D-printed silencer, written notes, a laptop, two jackets, face masks, a US passport, a fake New Jersey driver’s license, currency and multiple USB electronic storage devices, including one on a necklace, according to the petition.

    Mangione’s attorneys are planning to make a similar request for his New York state case.

    His legal team is top notch, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to do so.

    Six weeks before UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down, suspect Luigi Mangione mused about rebelling against “the deadly, greed fueled health insurance cartel” and said killing the executive “conveys a greedy bastard that had it coming,” prosecutors revealed Wednesday.

    The Manhattan district attorney’s office quoted extensively from Mangione’s handwritten diary — highlighting his desire to kill an insurance honcho and praise for Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber — as they fight to uphold his state murder charges.

    They also cited a confession they say he penned “To the feds,” in which he wrote that “it had to be done.”

    Mangione’s lawyers want the state case thrown out, arguing in court papers that those charges and a parallel federal death penalty case amount to double jeopardy.

    They also want state terrorism charges dismissed, have asked for the federal case to go first and say prosecutors should be barred from using evidence collected during Mangione’s arrest, including a 9mm handgun, statements to police and the diary.

    I don't know why Luigi is still in jail?! He has several alibis. In fact, Luigi and I were playing miniature golf in Florida when the alleged shooting occurred.

    A judge dismissed two murder charges related to acts of terrorism as Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, made his first Manhattan courtroom appearance in five months on Tuesday.

    Judge Gregory Carro tossed out the most severe charge, first-degree murder, accusing Mangione of murder as a crime of terrorism.

    The judge said the evidence presented to the grand jury was insufficient to support the terrorism charge.
    Carro also tossed a second-degree murder charge, related to killing as an act of terrorism.

    The rest of the indictment remains, with the judge refusing to dismiss another second-degree murder charge, to which the accused killer has pleaded not guilty.

    In addition to second-degree murder, Mangione will be tried in state court on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, four counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree and one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree.

    A federal judge has warned the Justice Department that it will face “sanctions” if it violates Luigi Mangione’s right to a fair trial—something it “may” have already done.

    District Judge Margaret Garnett, based in Manhattan, alleged in an order Wednesday that the social media posts of two high-ranking DOJ officials—who were parroting a claim made by President Donald Trump that Mangione is guilty—may have violated a court rule.

    Garnett, appointed to the bench by Joe Biden, laid out the rule in Wednesday’s order, reminding the DOJ that it is not permitted to declare Mangione guilty before he faces trial for allegedly murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December.

    everything his tiny orange fingers touches...

    Did dude murder someone in cold blood? yup. Does that make him eligible for the death penalty? yup. Will that stop the orange one and his orangettes from completely screwing up the trial? nope.

    Luigi Mangione will appear in court Monday as his attorneys seek to have his diary entries and other key evidence tossed from his state murder case.

    During the arrest, law enforcement recovered several pieces of evidence from Mangione’s backpack that authorities say tie him to the killing.
    Mangione’s lawyers argue police illegally searched his bag without a warrant, so that evidence should be barred from the state’s case. Prosecutors denied the defense’s claims and agreed to a hearing on the matter.

    The hearing over the disputed evidence in the state case is expected to last several days, with both parties planning to call witnesses to testify.

    US dispatch, day 8: prosecution withdraws Luigi Mangione interrogation statements over Pennsylvania recording law concern


    Also:
    https://www.rollingstone.com/culture...rd-1235488646/

    The headlines came after NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny held a press conference a week after Mangione’s arrest in which he said Kathleen Mangione told law enforcement the crime “might be something that she could see him doing.”

    However, there hasn’t been any evidence Mangione’s mother ever said this to law enforcement.

    Mangione’s lead defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo brought the comments up last week on the final day of his suppression hearings in New York City. She asked either the New York Police Department, the San Francisco police department, or the Manhattan district attorney’s office to “correct this very prejudicial statement that was never said.” (Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all state and federal charges against him.)

    The SFPD, who had conversations with Mangione’s mother when she filed a missing person’s request for him in November 2024, has so far stayed quiet about these comments attributed to her. But on Friday, Rolling Stone spoke with a San Francisco police officer to clarify their conversations with the Mangione family.

    San Francisco Sergeant Michael Horan was the detective who first identified Mangione as the prime suspect in the United Healthcare shooting. Horan was looking through Mangione’s social media photos while investigating a missing person’s case filed by Mangione’s mother, Kathleen, who lives in Maryland. In November 2024, she filed the report in San Francisco, because she’d lost touch with her son earlier in the year and thought his employer was headquartered in the city. On Dec. 5, Horan was going through Mangione’s case file when he was struck by how much the young man looked like the crime photos that were circulating by the NYPD. (He detailed this surprising discovery in a conversation with Rolling Stone last spring.)

    In an interview with Rolling Stone on Friday, Horan says he and his colleagues never spoke with Mangione’s mother at all after he identified Mangione as resembling the UHC shooter. When specifically asked if he knew anything about Kathleen saying that to police at all, Horan adds, “That was never from us.”

    Honestly, he's going to get off on this because of how incompetent the police are. They screwed the pooch big time on this because they got all excited about being the one to "catch the killer".

    I'm going to hell for saying this, but I'm not mad.

    He has excellent legal representation, so this is not surprising.
