Luigi Mangione murder statement

For the first time since his arrest, Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has released a public statement.

Through his legal defense team and a new website, Luigi Mangione addressed the overwhelming response to his case in a statement.

“I am overwhelmed by—and grateful for—everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe.”

The website, Luigi Mangione Info, launched on Friday to provide case updates, legal details, and a fundraiser link for his defense.

Massive Public Support

Luigi Mangione murder charges

Since his arrest, Luigi Mangione has gained an unexpected following. A recent poll found that 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as “acceptable,” compared to just 17% of overall voters. His legal defense fund has already raised over $400,000 from 10,000+ donors, many voicing frustration with the U.S. healthcare system.

One crypto group even created a coin in his honor, donating $6,286 with a message:

“$LUIGI on Solana is committed to taking action and fixing our healthcare system. We also want to see a fair trial.”

What’s Next?

Luigi Mangione Case

Luigi Mangione faces a total of 11 charges, including first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism, a charge that carries the possibility of the death penalty if convicted. His next court appearance is scheduled for February 21, where his legal team is expected to present arguments against capital punishment, emphasizing his mental state, motivations, and the broader context of systemic healthcare grievances that have fueled public discourse around the case.

The trial has ignited heated debates on multiple fronts—corporate power, healthcare inequality, and the ethics of vigilante justice. While prosecutors are aggressively pursuing the harshest possible sentence, painting Mangione as a domestic terrorist who carried out a premeditated attack, his supporters see him as a desperate figure pushed to the edge by a system that has left millions struggling under the weight of medical debt and inaccessible care.

Public sentiment remains deeply divided. A shocking poll revealed that 41% of voters under 30 found the assassination “acceptable,” highlighting a generational rift in attitudes toward corporate accountability. Meanwhile, Mangione’s legal defense fund has amassed over $400,000, with donations flooding in alongside messages condemning healthcare monopolies.

As the trial date looms, the stakes are higher than ever, making this one of the most controversial and politically charged cases in recent history.
