Luigi Mangione is set to plead not guilty to the charges he is facing in Pennsylvania, according to his defense attorney, Tom Dickey. This decision was announced following Mangione's extradition hearing.
During the hearing, Dickey stated, 'We’ve pled not guilty, at least to the charges in Pennsylvania. Like I said, I’m not aware of any actual charges in New York.' He further emphasized, 'I’m telling you as his lawyer, he didn’t have any representation until I got involved this afternoon. And I’m telling you he’s pleading not guilty.'
It appears that Mangione's legal team is gearing up to vigorously defend him against the allegations brought forth in Pennsylvania. The specifics of the charges in New York, if any, remain unclear at this time.
As the legal proceedings unfold, Mangione's plea of not guilty sets the stage for a potentially complex and contentious legal battle. The defense's strategy and arguments will likely come to light as the case progresses through the court system.
