CNN legal analyst Jennifer Rodgers described Karen Friedman Agnifilo as the "sort of person you want" to take on the case.
Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has reportedly retained a former prosector and ex-CNN legal analyst as his attorney.
Mangione has hired Karen Friedman Agnifilo, once a veteran prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office under Cyrus Vance Jr. before going into the private sector, to represent him in New York, CNN reported on Friday.
The suspect remains in custody in Pennsylvania on gun-related charges and is fighting extradition to New York, where he has been charged with second-degree murder.
HuffPost has reached out to Friedman Agnifilo for comment.
The news comes as officials have found new evidence including a 3D-printed gun that Mangione possessed at the time of his arrest in Pennsylvania that matched three shell casings found at the Manhattan crime scene, according to New York City Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
