Summary

Luigi Mangione, charged with the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, released his first public statement through a new website launched by his defense team.

He expressed gratitude for widespread support and acknowledged the letters he has received. The website provides case updates and a fundraiser, which has raised over $400,000.

Mangione has gained a following among those frustrated with the U.S. healthcare system. A poll found 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as acceptable.

His next court date is Feb. 21.

    Lighting changes skin tone a lot, and jackets cover up the build of the body. I’m not saying for sure it is him, but I also am not sure this disproves it being him.

        Based on the evidence we’ve seen, yes, there is a reasonable doubt.

        But we are the public, not the judge and jury. We are not being presented with the full testimony and evidence.

        That depends on the whole body of evidence, which we haven’t seen yet

      WTF?!? Its like saying Jacky Chan looks like Bruce Lee… We may not see much, but the upper face is clearly different, except if you are blind, there should be any doubt. The suspect is clearly Irish like (North Europe) while Luigi is clearly italian like (South Europe)…

      Ironically it does seems that american are dumb enough to believe this shit… US is fucked up…
