RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Altoona, Pennsylvania – 10 December 2024
1 SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Weeks, Blair County District Attorney:
"Our intention is to just place a detainer on him, once we secure extradition and send him to New York. We do not intend to delay this defendant’s extradition to New York. And we certainly and we’ve indicated this to New York, their prosecution should take precedence and then ours will follow."
++BLACK FRAMES ++
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Weeks, Blair County District Attorney:
"So certainly our office will communicate with the Manhattan District attorney’s office and each of us communicate with our respective state level governments. And it’s the state level governments that work with each other execute the governor’s warrant, which sometimes can take, you know, approximately 30 days plus or minus a little bit. I will say that those wheels have already started moving in this case. So I’m hopeful we can get that accomplished quickly."
++BLACK FRAMES ++
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Weeks, Blair County District Attorney:
"The Blair County charges are still active and we intend on prosecuting them, but we also intend on cooperating with the New York City Police Department, the Manhattan DA’s office. We’ve already indicated to them that we believe their charges take precedence and we’ll do what’s necessary to accommodate their prosecution first."
++BLACK FRAMES ++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Weeks, Blair County District Attorney:
"This defendant now has two dockets in Blair County. One docket will go away once he is extradited, and that is his fugitive from justice charge. And the judge denied bail on that until obviously the judge makes a ruling on any defense motions, at which time we anticipate the state of New York will be able to collect the defendant."

STORYLINE:
The 26-year-old man charged in last week’s killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO in New York City has appeared in a Pennsylvania courtroom.
Luigi Nicholas Mangione was arrested Monday after a worker at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, notified police that he resembled the suspect in the killing last Wednesday of Brian Thompson.
During the hearing, Mangione was denied bail and his attorney said Mangione would not waive extradition.
Blair County (Pennsylvania) District Attorney Peter Weeks said that Mangione’s fighting extradition won’t be a substantial barrier to sending him to New York.
