The 26-year-old suspect hires a high-profile attorney as public donations for his legal defense exceed $130,000.

  • Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has been charged with second-degree murder in New York and firearm offenses in Pennsylvania.
  • Mangione has retained Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a former Manhattan prosecutor and experienced criminal defense attorney, to represent him in the case.
  • Public supporters have raised over $130,000 through crowdfunding to assist with Mangione’s legal expenses, with donations continuing to rise.
