Luigi Mangione, jailed for killing CEO Brian Thompson, reveals he’s receiving supportive letters from fans and requests for no books.
Luigi said he gets many letters from supportive fans. He posted his statement online on a website about him. The website is run by his lawyers and shares updates about his case.
It also has an FAQ section. They ask people to stop sending books.
Luigi is in solitary confinement and faces federal charges, including murder. He could face the death penalty in addition to charges in New York.
Police found Luigi at a McDonald’s after a five-day search. He had a gun, fake IDs, and a “manifesto.”
The manifesto attacked the healthcare system. Luigi engraved messages on shell casings, and some people support his views.
A poll showed some support for his actions. People have donated to his defense, and demonstrators protested for him, holding signs with messages.
Officials strongly condemn the murder. Luigi waited for Thompson outside a hotel, and a masked person shot Thompson, who later died at a hospital.
Prosecutors say Luigi planned the killing, noting they found evidence in his notebook. Thompson’s family is devastated by his death. He was a loving man, and they released a statement during this tragic time in their lives.
