Luigi Mangione has returned to court and this time he’s wearing a bulletproof vest for his protection.
The 26-year-old suspected United Healthcare CEO shooter was joined by his legal team during the court appearance on Friday (February 21) in Manhattan’s State Supreme Court in New York City.
Luigi was handcuffed around the hands and the feet during the appearance, where he was seen in a green sweater, a white collard shirt, and khaki pants.
Luigi‘s lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo said that it was “shocking” to see an HBO documentary about the case featuring interviews with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD’s chief of detectives.
The lawyer said that actors “playing him on TV … didn’t sound anything like him.” She added that “hearing an actor play Luigi, reading from a journal that they say is Luigi‘s, and we have yet to receive it from the prosecution.”
“It’s outrageous that they have time to go and prejudice Mr. Mangione‘s ability to receive a fair trial and go out and make these statements, but not give this to us,” she said.
Luigi made his first statement to the public last week.
