Overview

• 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.
