Luigi Mangione May Face Additional Charges, Alvin Bragg Says

Source: Newsweek

Published Dec 11, 2024 at 8:30 PM EST


Luigi Mangioni, who was arrested earlier this week and charged in last week's killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, could soon be facing additional counts, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Mangioni, 26, is being held without bail in Pennsylvania on gun and forgery charges after being arrested at a McDonald's restaurant on Monday morning. He is fighting extradition to New York, where Bragg's office has filed second-degree murder, criminal possession of a forged instrument and several gun charges against him.

Bragg predicted during an interview with ABC News on Wednesday that Mangione's extradition would be successful and suggested that prosecutors working to "bring him to justice" might file new charges when a potential motive in the killing of Thompson is established.

"We will get the defendant here and bring him to justice through our court proceeding," Bragg said. "As we learn more about motives and other things like that ... there may be additional charges ... We intend to learn more, and we have a lot of things to do. As things go forward, there may be additional charges to bring."

You may or may not have noticed how Mangione is such a horrendous murderer for killing one man. Yet one man, thompson, who killed thousands is such a moral man to be looked up to. I don't think that Mangione was right for killing thompson it's just that the greed of the insurance companies has gone too far. Yes security was stepped up by insurance companies but, that only means they will feel they can continue putting money over average American's lives. We won't stop it while trump is in power, hopefully for only four years, the next administration can stop them. It's just that the "average American" who voted for the fake blond idiot have to wake up and stop the madness.

Republicans will now expand state and federal Hate Crime laws to include acts of violence against CEOs committed with bias toward their business practices.

that is why he gave himself up at McDonalds (c'mon, did he really sit there with his mask off to eat that food? he was ready to turn himself in without getting shot in the process).

Bragg will do his job, I don't doubt that, and he should. But I have to admit this was a successful vehicle for maximizing attention on these blood-sucking companies. Hopefully it won't be in vain. We'll see.

is when the prosecutors do a "pile on" where they try to come up with anything to charge people with, even if they know it won't stick.

since they have physical evidence (weapon, shell casings, finger prints, phone), plus there is an alleged "manifesto" and he had an online presence, then there might be more than just the "take out the UHC guy".

He came in from out of state to kill the victim, so federal prosecution would be warranted.

Unfortunately for him, with the orange asshole coming into the White House the feds will probably look at capital punishment for him.

Luigi is going to go to jail for a very long time.

I guess it is too early to suggest Joe Biden might have one more pardon to hand out?

(That is two bad taste jokes in one post, if you haven't noticed.)
