Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is requesting a laptop in jail strictly for legal use, hoping to access documents related to his case. Prosecutors oppose this request due to concerns over potential witness threats, despite Mangione's lawyers claiming no link between him and those threats. The case has significant implications, influencing corporate responses in the healthcare industry and reflecting broader frustrations with health insurers. Mangione, who faces serious charges including a potential death penalty, has pleaded not guilty.
According to Mangione's lawyers, prosecutors are frowning on the laptop request, saying that some witnesses have been threatened. Defense lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo wrote that there's no connection to Mr. Mangione for any of said alleged threats.
Thompson's killing alarmed the corporate world, where some health insurers hastily switched to remote work or online shareholder meetings.
