Luigi Mangione's Lawyers Request Laptop Access for Trial Preparation

Prosecutors oppose the request, citing alleged witness threats, as Mangione faces terrorism and murder charges in the high-profile UnitedHealthcare CEO case.

Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, has asked for a laptop to review over 15,000 pages of evidence while in federal custody.
Prosecutors argue against granting the laptop, citing alleged threats to witnesses, though Mangione's legal team denies any connection between him and the threats.
Defense attorneys claim there is insufficient time during visiting hours for Mangione to adequately prepare his defense without access to the requested device.
The defense also accuses law enforcement and public officials of leaking sensitive case information to the media, allegedly prejudicing Mangione's right to a fair trial.
Mangione's next federal court hearing is scheduled for April 18, with state and Pennsylvania cases also pending.
