Prosecutors Oppose Luigi Mangione's Request for Laptop in Jail

Mangione's defense argues the laptop is essential for reviewing 15,000 pages of evidence, while prosecutors cite security concerns and alleged witness threats.

Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has requested a laptop in jail to review extensive evidence in his case.
His legal team argues that without a laptop, it is impossible to adequately prepare his defense due to the volume of discovery materials, including thousands of hours of video.
Prosecutors oppose the request, citing concerns about the potential for witness intimidation and the sensitive nature of some evidence.
Mangione's attorneys contend there is no evidence connecting him to alleged threats against witnesses and propose limiting the laptop's content to non-sensitive materials.
The court has yet to decide on the motion, with Mangione's next federal hearing scheduled for April 18, 2025.
