Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has seen his legal defense fund exceed $500,000 in donations, as he prepares for a court appearance. This financial support highlights a remarkable level of public interest and backing, with Mangione expressing gratitude for the outpouring of letters he has received. The upcoming court hearing is expected to be procedural, wherein updates on the case status will be discussed. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to multiple murder charges, indicating the severity of his situation as he faces potential federal consequences.
I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for - everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions.
The hearing, which will be the first since Mangione's arraignment, is likely to be mostly procedural - with prosecutors and Mangione's defense lawyers expected to provide updates on the status of the case.
