Luigi Mangione latest: Accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer marks 27th birthday with list of things he's grateful for from jail

In New York, Luigi Mangione, the accused CEO killer, celebrated his 27th birthday recently. He compiled a list titled “27 Things I’m Grateful For” to acknowledge the occasion. This list was shared with individuals who have been corresponding with him in jail and has since been circulating online.

While in federal custody, Mangione has been inundated with letters, receiving a staggering 10 to 115 letters daily, as stated by his legal representatives. The overwhelming volume of correspondence has led Mangione to describe his daily experience as a strange mix of Christmas and his birthday on May 6th, akin to the concept of a repetitive “Groundhog Day.”

Letters from over 40 different countries have poured in for the suspected killer, along with numerous books such as Ayn Rand’s “Anthem” and Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.” These items are starting to clutter the shared living space Mangione occupies with his cellmate, identified only as “J.”

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges stemming from the assassination-style shooting death of United Healthcare chief executive Brian Thompson. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 26, at which Judge Gregory Carro could set a trial date.

“If ever there were an open and shut case pointing to defendant’s guilty, this case is that case. Simply put, one would be hard pressed to find a case with such overwhelming evidence of guilt as to the identity of the murderer and the premeditated nature of the assassination,” Joel Seidemann, an assistant district attorney in Manhattan, wrote in a recent court filing. “While this is of no solace to Mr. Thompson, his family or his friends, the assassination was not personal to Mr. Thompson but rather a necessary part of defendant’s evil plan to usher revolutionary changes to the delivery of healthcare in the United States through the barrel of a gun.”

Mangione has sought to dismiss or delay the state case to concentrate on the federal case, which could yield the death penalty.
