Former Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Monday that Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, will likely try to argue that he “didn’t know right from wrong” when he allegedly shot Thompson in Manhattan on Dec. 4.
Napolitano, on “Wake Up America,” said Karen Friedman Agnifilo, the attorney retained by Mangione to represent him, will likely meet with the accused killer this week to discuss the extradition process and predicted that she will advise her client to “waive extradition, get … to New York, and begin the process of gathering the evidence that the government has.”
The former judge noted that Mangione’s attorney could “challenge his confinement,” which would force the government “to come forward with evidence” to justify his imprisonment ahead of trial, which “is a way for defense counsel to learn the nature and extent of the evidence that the government has about the defendant quickly, rather than waiting for the government to pass it on to defense counsel.”
