Luigi Mangione May Get A Laptop In Jail To Work On CEO Murder Case Defense

But it will ultimately be up to federal officials who oversee the facility where he is awaiting trial.
NEW YORK (AP) — A judge cleared the way Thursday for Luigi Mangione to get a laptop behind bars — if his jailers agree — so he can examine documents and other material in the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case.
New York state Judge Gregory Carro wrote that he had “no objection” to Mangione’s request for the device, which would be configured to allow him only to review case materials. But Carro noted that it’s ultimately up to federal authorities who oversee the lockup where Mangione is awaiting trial in the December shooting death of Brian Thompson, the 50-year-old head of the biggest U.S. health insurer.
Thompson was ambushed while walking to a Manhattan hotel where the company was holding an investor conference.
Mangione, a prep school and Ivy League graduate whose family had reported him missing, has pleaded not guilty to New York charges that include murder as an act of terrorism. Also facing a federal murder charge, he is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center, a federal jail in Brooklyn. He hasn’t entered a plea in the federal case.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons said it would review the laptop request if formally submitted. If it is granted, the device would be kept in a visiting room for Mangione’s use.
