Suspected killer Luigi Mangione’s defense team has claimed prosecutors are trying to “bias the public” after releasing diary entries that reveal a possible motive for the fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione, 27, has been charged on state and federal levels for the murder of Thompson on the streets of Manhattan in December. He faces a terrorism charge in New York, and federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Mangione has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
