US EditionA heart-shaped note was found in socks bound for Luigi Mangione, prosecutors say
- Luigi Mangione, accused of the December 4, 2024, shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, faces state and federal charges, including murder and terrorism offenses, potentially leading to life in prison or the death penalty.
- Ahead of his February 21 court appearance, Mangione's defense team provided a bag of clothing, including a pair of argyle socks, to a court officer, but an investigator discovered two hidden heart-shaped notes inside the socks.
- The notes, one addressed to "Joan" and the other to "Luigi" stating "know there are thousands of people wishing you luck," were intended to show support for Mangione, who has garnered a following.
- Mangione initially put on the socks but then removed them, stating "they did not look good," which prosecutors highlighted, along with the green sweatshirt provided by the defense team that matched what supporters were wearing, as evidence of the "special treatment" he was receiving.
- Prosecutors argue that Mangione's defense team is attempting to manipulate public perception and seeking preferential treatment, while Mangione's attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, claims that the defense has learned more about the case from leaks than from proper disclosure, alleging violations of Mangione's constitutional rights.
