Suspect shouted outside court before hearing where he was denied bail

Summary

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, is fighting extradition from Pennsylvania to New York.

Arrested Monday with evidence linking him to the crime, Mangione faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder and gun violations.

At his hearing, he shouted accusations of injustice and was denied bail.

His lawyer plans to challenge the detention and has stated Mangione will plead not guilty.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul intends to issue a warrant for extradition, while Pennsylvania prosecutors prioritize transferring Mangione for trial in New York.

      I said something about it somewhere else… while I try not to get my hopes up about things, is there possibility of an imposter thats been thoroughly looked into? Many past high profile crimes have had people eager to turn themselves in for it. This is pretty high profile.
