Lawyers Dispute Claim of Mangione's Mom Linking Him to Murder
13 Nov
Summary
- Mangione's lawyers say they've seen no evidence of his mom's alleged statement to police
- Prosecutors claim Mangione's mom said she "could see him doing" the murder
- Mangione faces multiple charges related to the shooting death of a healthcare executive
According to the news, lawyers for Luigi Mangione are challenging a claim that his mother, Kathleen Mangione, allegedly told police she "could see him doing" the murder of a healthcare executive. Mangione's legal team says they have not seen any evidence to support this statement, which was reportedly made to the San Francisco Police Department and referenced by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
The article states that in December 2024, NYPD detectives mentioned the information they received from the FBI, including the statement from Mangione's mother. However, Mangione's lawyers argue that either his mom never made the statement, or the prosecution has failed to turn over this evidence during the discovery process.
Regardless, Mangione's team believes the prosecution's certificate of compliance, which indicates they have met their discovery obligations, is insufficient. Mangione is facing multiple charges at the state and federal level in connection with the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. His first trial is scheduled to begin on December 1.
