Lawyers for Luigi Mangione characterized the murder suspect as a sympathetic man in court filings this week, saying the 26-year-old was concerned that the public would harass the McDonald’s employee who turned him in when he was arrested in December.
In a Wednesday letter to New York Judge Gregory Carro, lawyers for Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, said he should be permitted access to a laptop in prison to review tens of thousands of pages of evidence while he awaits trial.
