Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old accused in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, disclosed in a handwritten letter that he recently downloaded songs of Taylor Swift and Charli XCX to a prison-issued tablet after a false online 'favourites' list circulated, only for another inmate to confront him and swap the pop tracks for rap.
The detail, revealed in a letter obtained and verified by a news outlet, has become a surprising footnote in a case already marked by courtroom drama, viral fandom, and a defence fund that has passed the million-dollar mark.
