Overview

  • Prosecutors oppose Mangione's request for a laptop to review extensive evidence, citing security concerns and alleging sufficient access to communal computers.

  • Support for Mangione continues to grow, with over $700,000 raised for his legal defense and public displays of solidarity, including gifts and notes of encouragement.
  • Prosecutors allege harassment campaigns by Mangione's supporters, including threats against the McDonald’s employee who reported him, which his defense denies.
