Paul Gallagher, 59, denied the charge when he appeared at Harrow Crown Court, which was sitting at Southwark Crown Court, on Friday, He also pleaded not guilty to coercive and controlling behaviour, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The alleged offences took place between 2022 and 2024, according to the charge sheet.
Forcing the 27-year-old accused killer to continue appearing with his hands cuffed and sporting the vest will 'perpetuate a false narrative that Mr. Mangione is an unusual danger requiring extraordinary security measures,' his lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo wrote in a legal filing.
