“Luigi Mangione, the 26 year old man accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthCare, made his first appearance in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday. Now, it was in federal court, not in state court, where he had been indicted. That’s because federal prosecutors have also brought their own charges against him. They have charged him with murder, a count that could bring the death penalty if he is convicted on that charge.”

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael R. Sisak, The Associated Press:
“Now, his appearance in federal court in Manhattan capped a whirlwind day that began with court hearings in Pennsylvania and then a flight to Long Island on a small plane and then a helicopter ride to Lower Manhattan, where he then was driven to the federal courthouse to make his initial appearance. In court, Mangione was not in the orange jumpsuit that we’ve seen him in at other court appearances. He was in a Navy quarter-zip, khaki pants had shackles around his ankles, but his hands were uncuffed. He was relatively unemotional, calm during the proceeding, leaning into a microphone and saying yes when the judge asked him if he understood his rights and if he understood and had read the allegations against him. Now, prosecutors asked for and they received the detention. That means that Mangione is going to jail. He’s not being released. His lawyers have not yet asked for bail.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael R. Sisak, The Associated Press:
“It wasn’t clear if he had any family or supporters in the courtroom. However, there were some people outside the court that used this court appearance as an opportunity to show support for Mangione and to criticize the healthcare industry.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael R. Sisak, The Associated Press:
“Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo took issue with charges both in state court and in federal court. During the appearance in federal court on Thursday, she said that the charges seemed at odds with each other. In the state case, Mangione is accused of committing murder as an act of terrorism, instilling fear in other people. While in the federal case, he is accused not only of murder but also of stalking, tracking his victims, alleged victim Brian Thompson, for days before the killing. Friedman Agnifilo says that involved targeting, the allegation involves targeting and stalking a specific person, an individual in the federal case, not instilling the fear that state prosecutors allege.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael R. Sisak, The Associated Press:
“Now back in New York City, Mangione will go to jail while his lawyers potentially fight for bail. It is unclear when he will be in court next. He still has to be arraigned on those state charges. He also could potentially have a preliminary hearing in federal court, although that won’t be necessary if federal prosecutors get an indictment in the next 30 days.”
