Luigi Mangione, accused of fatally shooting health insurance executive Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street, appeared in a New York courtroom on 22nd February, as he faces state murder and terrorism charges. Mangione is 26 years old, arrived in court wearing a green cable knit sweater over a white shirt, restrained in leg and arm shackles, and donning a bulletproof vest. He had previously pleaded not guilty on December 23 to an 11-count indictment, which includes murder as an act of terrorism and weapons charges. His legal team, which recently added death penalty specialist Avraham Moskowitz, has raised concerns about the possibility of an unfair trial due to intense media coverage and public condemnation.
