COURTHOUSE,
Dec 19 – 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, thread:
Luigi Mangione
has been brought in by US
Marshals, in a black
quarter-zip sweater. He sits
between his lawyer Karen
Friedman Agnifilo and her
husband (Sean Combs' laywer)
Marc Agnifilo. Now waiting for
Magistrate Judge Katharine H.
Parker.
All rise!
Magistrate Judge Parker: Good
afternoon everyone. Mr.
Mangione, you have been
arrested based on charges
filed against you in a
complaint. Judge Parker: You
have the right to be released
until I find there are no
conditions that would assure
your presence at future court
proceedings or the safety of
the community. You have the
right to hire your own lawyer,
as you have done. Do you
understand? Mangione:
Yes.
Judge
Parker: You are charged with
stalking then killing Brian
Thompson. You used interstate
facilities. You are charged
with murder with use of a
firearm: you shot and killed
Brian Thompson. Also, use of a
firearm in a crime of
violence. Is a reading waived?
Karen Friedman Agnifilo:
Yes Judge Parker: What is the
government's position on bail?
AUSA Domenic Gentile: We are
prepared to argue for
detention.
Mangione's lawyer
Karen Friedman Agnifilo: We
consent to detention without
prejudice to make a future
bail application. AUSA
Gentile: The Manhattan DA has
also indicted the defendant,
we are in touch with them.
Judge Parker: Anything
furthur? Mangione's lawyer
Karen Friedman Agnifilo: This
is unusual. Yesterday the
Manhattan DA held a press
conference. There was no
mention of this
Karen Friedman
Agnifilo: The theories are
inconsistent. The charge here
is death eligible. Is it a
joint investigation? If so it
triggers discovery
obligations. It is confusing.
I've never seen this. Judge:
Mr. Gentile? AUSA Gentile:
There was a lot there.
AUSA Gentile: We
will address any legal
argument - in the appropriate
forum. Judge Parker: I advise
the parties to speak after
this proceeding about the
logistics between the Federal
and State proceedings...
Judge: Adjourned.
