Luigi Mangione has secured high-profile attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo to represent him in New York as he faces charges for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Friedman Agnifilo, a former Manhattan Chief Assistant District Attorney and seasoned legal expert with three decades of experience, is known for her work in high-stakes criminal cases.
As Mangione faces a second-degree murder charge, investigators have linked him to the crime scene through a 3D-printed gun and fingerprint evidence. Meanwhile, Mangione remains in custody in Pennsylvania on unrelated charges, including illegal weapons possession and forgery, as he fights extradition to New York.
Friedman Agnifilo’s retention marks a significant turn in the case, which has drawn attention for its ties to Mangione’s alleged grievances against the health insurance industry.
While his Pennsylvania lawyer maintains his innocence, stating Mangione intends to plead not guilty, New York prosecutors continue to build their case with mounting forensic evidence.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg anticipates Mangione may waive extradition soon, clearing the way for his New York trial.
Looks like a Jew to the rescue.
