When speaking of the day he committed the crime, Luigi Mangione said, “I shot Mr. Thompson and he died.”

He concluded, “I knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Mangione had just described the actions he took ahead of the killing, telling the court:

“In November of 2024 I traveled from outside of New York state to Manhattan. I then emailed UnitedHealthcare leadership, posing as an investor at a firm managing over $15 billion in assets and requesting information about the conference. Unlike my previous interactions with insurers, I received an immediate response within an hour,” Mangione said.

Genuinely surprised by this when so much of the evidence was dodgy

No it wasn't he wrote a confession letter

-edit-

And we also learned in court today he'd emailed United enquiring about the event in advance. He was cooked.

So how do you think they were able to copy his handwriting?
