A judge cleared the way Thursday for Luigi Mangione to get a laptop behind bars — if his jailers agree — so he can examine documents and other material in the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case.
New York state Judge Gregory Carro wrote that he had “no objection” to Mangione's request for the device, which would be configured to allow him only to review case materials. But Carro noted that it's ultimately up to the federal authorities who oversee the lockup where Mangione is awaiting trial in the December shooting of Brian Thompson, the 50-year-old head of one of the biggest U.S. health insurers.
