Fans and supporters of Luigi Mangione have expressed shock and horror at Attorney General Pam Bondi's directive for the Department of Justice to seek the death penalty against the 26-year-old for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
"Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson -- an innocent man and father of two young children -- was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America," Bondi said in a statement on Tuesday. "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."
