Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty Monday to New York state charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as his defense complained about police parading him in “perp walks” that are “perfectly choreographed, utterly political.”
Mangione wore a white shirt under a maroon sweater and light-colored pants in his arraignment before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro. Supreme Court is the top trial court in New York.
Manhattan prosecutors last week unsealed an 11-count indictment charging Mangione with a host of crimes connected to the Dec. 4 slaying.
The allegations include first-degree murder, an act of terrorism, criminal possession of a weapon and forgery by using a fake ID in the days before the murder.
Mangione pleaded not guilty to all charges during the short hearing, at which he conferred with defense lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo and prison consultant Craig Rothfeld, who works with defendants on confinement issues.
