COURTHOUSE,
Dec 3 – Luigi Mangione was
presented in Federal court on
December 19 on four charges,
one of them death penalty
eligible, for the killing of
UnitedHealth CEO Brian
Thompson. Inner City Press was
there, covering the case
toward a book.
On April 1 DOJ
announced it will seek the
death penalty against
Mangione.
In the
interim, after some push back,
Inner City Press published a
book Luigi Mangione Lone Wolf
here,
now Amazon here
In the NYS
case, on December 2, Altoona
PD officer Joseph Dewiler
explained separating Mangione
from his backpack, later
searched - then at the end,
Justice Carro ruled to seal
all exhibits, without giving
any opportunity to be heard.

Late on December
2 Inner City Press emailed,
then on December 3 faxed and
hand-delivered, a letter
asking to be heard and for
unsealing, here.
After
handing in the letter and
getting it stamped at 10 am,
Inner City Press stayed in and
covered Justice Carro's
courtroom to 1 pm, then from
2:30 to past 5 pm. Then:
Justice Carro
said, "Mr. Lee? Come up to the
rail." I did. He said, I've
read your letter. I intend
tomorrow to decide what part
of what is being presented
came be made public to the
Press.
I asked:
Then we can react? He: not by
speaking up in court. I will
not be taking questions. I
have read your letter.
But there may
have to be another letter. You
can write again, he said.
Maybe notice and a right to be
heard should have been
provided before an order to
seal. But here we are. Watch
this site.
