Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on Dec. 4, 2024, has accepted nearly $300,000 in donations for his criminal defense. Mangione faces charges of first-degree murder in furtherance of an act of terrorism, stalking, and other state and federal charges in New York and Pennsylvania.
Mangione's lead defense attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, stated that Mangione appreciates the support and plans to use the funds to fight the charges against him. The fundraiser, organized by the December 4 Legal Committee, received over $290,000 from more than 10,000 individual donations.
